3-handed 5/10 - Tough River Fold

[augie00]

I have raised almost every hand and am running over the table. Button has about $50 in front of him and sucks, BB is pretty agressive and I think he's probably good but I don't know for sure.

Your preflop play in this spot is terrible. Ugh.

Flop is fine, whatever. Turn call is thin and I don't see how the river is a tough fold at all.

why is this not in the muck preflop?

Preflop is terrible, the flop worked out nicely for you but too bad BB didn't fold, the turn call is marginally bad and the river is trivial.

When a bad player limps OTB in a 3-handed game the SB benefits because he's getting good odds on completing. I would probably fold this even here, but you definitely took it too far in trying to isolate him OOP with a crappy hand; the BB will call with a lot of hands here anyway.

There's not much to be said about the rest of the hand.

Tough as in tough to raise preflop and tough as in tough to get to the river.
