another bump for the daytime folks

i'll be honest, i can't get villain on a hand. big pocket pair wouldn't check the blind, but the flop overbet screams big pocket; the turn checkraise looks like 56 and is consistent with preflop, but nobody overbets a made hand on the flop. If he hadn't overbet I'd raise it up, but given his action, I play it the way you did.

Looks fine.

I agree that it's fine. Only way you win this hand is if an 8 or 7 comes out, which we know. I can't see him semibluffing with a flush draw.
