Given my hand, should I have still raised?
I wasn't sure what to do here so I called with the intention of betting the river.

This is a dumb question: Can someone tell me how many SB and BB there are at each street?

Re: BB trying to push me...
 

Wow. Perfectly played. Nice hand.

Open raising 55 from the Hijack is close, but I do it. Easy flop 3-bet with your overpair, and open ended straight draw. Don't raise the turn, he has shown a ton of strength, and your 55 may not be good. Call planning on raising the river if you improve. On the river he checks, which means he was probably pumping with either a draw plus a pair, or an overplayed Ax. Nice value bet, as he will have to call with his probably call with his weak hand. I'm guessing he had A4.

You're right... that is a dumb question. If you haven't learned to count bets in the pot, then you should do this right now.

Re: BB trying to push me...
 

It's fine, IMO. I don't understand you're question though

Re: BB trying to push me...
 

Pre-flop 55 raise is a bit questionable. After that, I think you played it just fine. Villain's river check makes me think a) he missed his draw, b) his 4's are not good anymore, or c) he's very tricky. I'm very much leaning towards a&amp;b as most likely, making this an easy river value bet.

Re: BB trying to push me...
 

I just fold preflop, raise with 77 or higher.

Fine with how you played it.

Re: BB trying to push me...
 

It's 5 handed bruh.

Edit: Plus they're suited.

Re: BB trying to push me...
 

You play 55 here? Seriously?

Re: BB trying to push me...
 

I used to open down to 66 but since reading that MP opening standards pop quiz where over half of people open with 55 in that spot I thought I'd give it a shot. Probably close either way and I'd ditch it if I thought the lineup was pretty bad for it.

Re: BB trying to push me...
 

I don't like enough flops with 55.

Re: BB trying to push me...
 

indeed.

my advice to italianfx is to quit site permanently.
getting dealt two 5s on the same hand is kind of scary.
never play there again.

Isn't this place to get help? I'm sorry I'm not a pro like you.

Re: BB trying to push me...
 

dude, i gave you a warning back in this thread. If you aren't taking the necessary few minutes to make sure your post makes sense, are you really surprised you get sarcastic responses?

Really, man, knuckle down. Take it on the chin and never post crappily again. You'd be surprised what an effect that a) concisive posts and b) making an effort to reply to other threads can have on one's reputation.

I won't bother responding in the future if the post isn't concise. There are probably a couple of hundred people here who want to learn, and priority has to be given to those who've made the basic effort.

The is crypto right? Seriously why don't you just use a converter. It's a lot easier.

Re: BB trying to push me...
 

Are we really getting called by a worst hand here on the River?

This really looks like an overpair like 66-88 to me, maybe even 10's who got scared by the river K. Either that or a draw which wont be calling a river bet.

Unless villain is very Laggy or will call with A high, im checking behind on this river- I dont feel this is a value bet.

It was Bet365. The convertor I have (Bison) doesn't support Bet365 from what I remember. Any suggestions?

You're playing on a bonus right? If not go else where. You could also convert or a party hand and then use it as a template for future hand postings from Bet 365. That's what I've been doing for PokerRoom.

Yes it was for the bonus. I cleared it, and have moved to EmpirePoker.
