is it just me, or does this never work?

any stats on button? i'd probably put him on an ace with a low kicker.

Sorry, no reads/stats on either.

well, if he's loose i like the action since you can probably get HU and you have a good hand. if he's tight i might call down instead. again, a loose player probably just has overcards or a lower pair.

It seems like 80% of the time I just make a hand like Q6 call down and I'm just spewing chips. I still do it, but it seems like it never works.

well yeah, that's why i asked about reads. otherwise it's really WA/WB

overcards are extremely difficult.

i hate being in this spot, it seems like i usually get shown Qcrap but id say its more like 50/50? also i like the check raise in this spot and the constant aggression gives him the opportunity to fold. either way your going to be putting in a bet might as well be the one pushing, also against some opponents ill check/fold the river figuring if they are calling they have me beat, in this situation i dont like bettting the river because the only hand u beat is a T with a lower kicker. the flush made it and the 3s caught up if ur determined to see SD i would check call instead of risking getting raised

[Alobar]

I like just betting the flop much better.

I dont like the river bet once the flush (and bottom pair) hits, id rather check/call or check/fold here. With the exception of some baby pairs (which wont be near often enough in comparison) any hand he calls this river with is beating you most likely.

Yea that river card is a bad one for you. A case can be made for check folding it.

I don't mind the check raise if these guys aren't passives.

If not for that crappy river card, I say you played it fine.

[bottomset]

I usually just lead the flop here
