crappy pair on a paired board

[nrs02004 0]

Table is very loose and pretty passive. In general this is an easy preflop fold for me, but I was trying something new. I think I misplayed this pretty badly but am having trouble finding a line I like. It think i'm probably biased by the results so I thought I'd post it.Party Poker 0.50/1 Hold'em (9 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cxPreflop: Hero is UTG+1 with A:spade:, 6:spade:. 1 fold, Hero calls, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, MP3 calls, SB calls.Flop: (12 SB) 6:diamond:, Q:spade:, Q:heart: (6 players)SB checks, BB checks, Hero bets, MP1 calls, MP2 folds, MP3 calls, SB folds, BB calls.Turn: (8 BB) 4:club: (4 players)BB checks, Hero bets, MP1 calls, MP3 calls, BB calls.River: (12 BB) A:heart: (4 players)BB checks, Hero checks, MP1 checks, MP3 checks.Final Pot: 12 BB

Looks good until the river. Monsters under the bed raise the turn most of the time. Lots of worse hands call since the pot is so big. River looks like a clear value bet.

Usually if someone had a queen you'd have heard about it by now. The only hand I would be worried about there is AK-AT. With loose passive opponents, though, you've gotta bet the river fairly frequently (something I'm working on these days) for value. If they're willing to call down there with TT-KK or something of the sort, get some value from them. I think there's definitely value in a bet there, win or lose.

bet/fold river is what you're talking about right?I figured since fish like to call with an ace... and a LOT of them were calling there was most probably an ace out there... But in hindsight, if I can bet/fold that and rarely ever fold the best hand, I only need to be ahead like 25% of the time.

Betting is good in big pots in general. There's a small chance that you fold better hands (you only have to do this a small amount of time for it to be profitable) and a TON of worse hands will call since the odds are so good.

why would you fold A6s preflop on a loose passive table?what are you gonig to do if someone bets river?I'd call one, but not over call, probably.
