Downswing + 2pr = suck.

Thoughts about this hand?

I DO know that I should probably get the money in faster (ie, raise flop), but aside from that, is there any point on shoving the river where I know my hand is no good?

I have seen opp fold to strong resistance on a scary bd before...

1st of all, fold preflop

2nd - reraise the flop, make it $16 to go.

3rd - shove the turn.

why on earth did you push on the river? this guy isn't folding.

As played, turn is fine, check behind river.

Hes not folding an overpair at 4:1. The only hand he might have that he might fold is 99. Disgusting push.

A 1/3 pot bet isnt "strong" resistance

Thanks for the feedback guys.

And this bd isn't too scary either...

If the guy is folding to resistance on scary boards then implied odds are poor. Fold preflop.
