Hi everyone,

SB: 31.5 BB (VPIP: 30.77, PFR: 9.62, 3Bet Preflop: 5.56, Hands: 52)

Hero (CO): 114.5 BB

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has 5♣ A♠

fold, fold, fold, fold, Hero raises to 3 BB, fold, fold, BB calls 2 BB

Flop: (6.5 BB, 2 players) 7♣ 4♥ 5♥
BB checks, Hero bets 5 BB, BB calls 5 BB

Turn: (16.5 BB, 2 players) 5♠
BB checks, Hero bets 7 BB, BB calls 7 BB

River: (30.5 BB, 2 players) 3♦
BB checks, Hero ???

Thanks!

Your turn bet is a bit small. It gives all the draws pretty good odds to call. We have a blocker so A2 is not so likely. Also 6x has a straight now. I think checking back and betting smallish are both valid options since villain often calls with worse hands. Don't know which one is more +ev.

Vs probably fish I would bet like 1/3 if he didn´t look very agro (I don´t want to face a raise). But I have no problem with x/b. Vs better opponent I like x/b

As played I would use smaller sizing F (our hand is not so strong and we don´t need to care about balance vs this opponent) and bigger on the turn.

I think that opening this hand from CO is a bit too wide.
I like the idea of making a small bet on river.

I also wouldn't open this hand from the CO. As played, a bigger bet on the turn is better, imo, and I would check/back the river because I don't see many worse hands calling and we will hate our life if he decided to raise.

Villain is fishy, he can Call with a lot worse, probably would've lead if he had hit OESD. Valuebetting this.

i would bet pot on the turn - max value and you can look like you have alot of overcard draws
