Sorry if these seem boring/standard. I'm having a rough time at 3/6.

The open limper is 60/4/.7
The PFR is something like 38/20/2.

I would bet the river.

I like it the whole way through. The only question in my mind in this hand is the river, I'm not sure if betting here will be profitable against a LAGgy player. I think the check is fine because his play of the hand sure makes it look like he has a 10.

well, what would he call with that I have beat?

a smaller pp, ace high, if he's a LAG, i think u have a value bet on the river. His donk bet on the flop doesn't seem like a 10 to me. I would think that lags would c/r that. But i guess 40/20/2 isn't awful, so who knows.

A huge range of hands you beat. Against a loose player like this, you have to value bet that river. Value bet him to death.

Looks fine... how about a value bet on the river though? Looks like MP3 doesn't like his hand enough to bet into you again... he slowed down on the turn when he didn't hit anything. From the read you have... looks like two overcards... he's a LAG... take him down.

I think the river is the most difficult part of this hand.

I like the preflop 3-bet of the 38/20 guy. I think it's good to try to keep this pot just 3-way if possible.

However, the preflop 3-bet does represent a bigger hand than you actually have, so it doesn't surprise me too much that MP3 started just calling you down with TPTK.

Despite the results, I think you may have a value bet on the river. But I can see myself just checking behind too.
