Protecting my BB with 65o

I hate my line in this hand, should I have raised the flop?
Folded preflop? Button just sat down so I have no read on him.

I very rarely play online, but I doubt if it is that much different. I lean towards the tight side, especially heads ups. That 65o routinely goes in the muck.

Fold pf. Find a better spot to defend.

Against an unknown I'd rather fold.

Yes. Standard play is check/raising the flop, you want to get aggressive early and win without a showdown if you can with this weak of a hand. Most cards are going to be scare cards on the turn for you.

Ugh. I think you should probably call on the river, though I agree it looks bad for you. You got this far, hand might be good 1 out of 6 times. At least you opponent wouldn't be unknown after that.

The problem with defending with 5-6 is that you can flop a pair and there could be four overcards by the time you hit the river, and then you are in an awkward spot like this.

I would have cr the flop, if I chose to defend.
