95o is a god awful hand. Muck this preflop. Even getting 12 to 1

Rest of the streets?

I want to fold this preflop really bad, but I think you're right to call if you can handle yourself postflop and not get into deep trouble. Having the relative button is another reason in favor of calling.

Good flop bet.

I play the rest the same, but I really wanna find another line that's better. Those turn and river cards are bad for you -- you're pretty much only ahead of AK now or AT now.

If the pot was a little smaller I would have bet/folded the turn, but he'd be right to call with UI overcards with such a large pot.

I think I hate the river overcall.

Well the flop is clearly good. I was thinking check/fold the turn, but that doesn't make any sense if you beat the flop because button with raise almost anything there. Maybe bet/fold the turn followed by Check/call 1 on the river.

Edit: you can't bet the turn and turn fold to a raise either because of the odds. So I guess check/call is the only choice.

I would have folded if I had to overcall.

Preflop is okay if you play the hand this way IMO. You can't call preflop for a monster since it will not happen often enough.

The only street that I could see doing again is the river, but calling doesn't seem like a terrible option given that you don't know anything about the button. It just doesn't seem likely that you have the best hand there given what the 4th/5th street cards are and that he is betting again into 2 players. Folding is probably better but again there are a ton of reasons to call here (info, pot size, peace of mind, etc).
