Terrible turn and river of course. But, every draw missed, except of course runner runner full house. I was playing 4 tables so no reads on villian.

I hate to say it, but I can't really picture a hand played this way that you beat. Flop is fine, but i'd bet closer to pot on the turn. I think if we make a blocker bet on the river and villain raises its much more clear what to do. But a check on the river pretty much shows that you dont have a boat, and its going to be hard to call anything without a boat, so villain might have a wider range.

The only hands you're beating is A-x clubs and a piss poorly played overpair

Fold

Well, I don't like putting out blocker bets, I'd rather check call than bet fold all day long. Check call atleast lets us pick off a bluff. Blocking bets simply induce bluffs, atleast to observant opponents. The reason I'm unsure of this hand is because of what you stated, I will never have a boat after checking the river. Which, opens the villians betting range dramatically.

I'm beating more than just an A high flush draw. Villians range to open the button includes so many hands that would've flopped a draw and missed. A9,K9,Q9,A5,J9 ect, ect, ect. Any club draw, not just the nut draw. I'm losing to an 8, a 6, or 77. Most players are 3 betting the flop with 77 or raising the turn so its hardley ever going to show up IMO. The only hands with a 6 that make sense are 69, or maybe 56. On top of being beat by few hands my river check tells the villian I dont' have a boat. Which means I'm giving him a green light to bluff EVERYTHING.

I think I pick off a bluff here quite alot. Enough to make calling correct, I'm not sure. At higher limits and more aggressive players, definetly. Lower limits, egh? One of those times I wish I was only playing 1-2 tables and had reads.

Raise more on the flop, IMO.

As played, Check/fold on the river is standard against a non-tard.

There are only two hands that have you beat, full house and quads. Button didn't raise preflop with 68. Button could have raised preflop with 66 or 88, but seeing as how both a 6 and an 8 came on later streets, I would doubt that's what they're holding. There's no flush, you've got the nut straight. You've got your opponent covered. Kind of a no-brainer call to me. I kind of have him on an over pair to the board, but could likely have A8. I just don't think you want to let yourself get pushed around while you have a straight and the chip advantage.

Not your question, but maybe fold preflop. (910 is my border line suited connectors that I'm going to take heads up SHed. I'll call against a tighty and usually fold them against habitual button stealers. Anything less I'm usually folding.) suited connectors dont' really play well out of the blinds against LP raisers in shed games.


Not your question either, but I'd prefer to weak bet the flop as opposed to the C/R. I guess this sort of depends on how you going about the lines you take when you're defending the blinds with air. I weak lead a lot, so that's sort of my default line.


Stakes make me weight overpair a little stronger than others here suggested. I would have preferred him to slow down on the river since I would think an overpair would probably check in position at the river considering if his overpair is good, then you just missed your draw. I don't know 4-tabling with no reads kinda sucks for this reason.

This is pretty much my normal line, call against tight players and either 3 bet or fold against someone who steals a lot. Pretty much I was playing bad and got stuck so I decided to gamble with it and see a flop.

Muck it and weep.
