I have the odds to chase here?

This guy never raises preflop so I put him on an over pair despite him seeing alot of flops. I took feeble stabs on the turn and river. I'm sure somebody can point out how to play this better. A T,7 or 5 wins it for me.

Ni Han.

I don't like playing these. I feel like you were lucky he didn't raise.

After a raise I probably push if there's any chance he'll lay down.

I just realized something - this is Greedo!!! Too funny. Well, I'm glad I donated my chips to another FTR member on this hand.

Check/raise the flop BIG. He'll lay it down.

You're right, I would. The question is, should I?

It depends.

good answer. I'm not too worried about how I play overpairs, i don't lay them down often, and i don't get destacked with them often. its always troubling to have an overpair, play it strong, and get played back at by a tag, because there's no reason for me to think jandje doesn't put me on an overpair.

so, let's say this hand happened that way. I bet it this way, jandje raised me on the flop to 13. i know him as a tag. your move? i think that's pretty much a situation where there is no good answer. btw, I was betting hard here because the table was really loose and i was expecting many calls.

The limited hands I have against you show that you were limping many hands but not raising preflop - probably because the table was loose aggressive.

If I had KK and somebody bet that flop big, I would push. There's no way they have a straight. I figured you had QQ or higher and wouldn't lay down to a bluff so I tried to stay in to hit my hand. I'm just wondering what you were thinking when I led out $5 after check-calling the flop. It would be good to know if that bet made you think at all. Same with the river.

the reason i mention i was 14/7, is because i only played 28 hands in that room, and i ended 17/8, so just saying maybe wait until you get a few more hands before you put any weight in them.

well, its tough to say what i'd do if you did bluff. i call 50/50, but here i probably would've folded. which is why i'm glad you didn't bluff.

with your turn bet, i thought you were either trying to get me to raise and be pot committed, or trying to control the pot size. I was happy just calling. after you bet just 5 on the river, i was pretty sure I had you beat as I think you bet more with a set and the like, but i figured a raise was a losing proposition because you'd fold junk and push with a better hand. its also hard to judge whether I should've raised the river without being results oriented.

As far as what I think of your play knowing your hand, I think its fine because you had odds the whole way. It was on me to reraise, and looking back I should've at least minraised. I would say though, in a case like this you gotta make sure you have your odds, because if you don't think i will fold to a bluff, why would I call a big bet when your scary outs hits.

Anything I'm doing wrong in the calculation here?
This is just for the flop call obviously, which it appears that you did not have odds - on the turn, you bet, so it's fine then - even if the bet to you was $5 you're good.

10 outs (4 Ts, 4 5s, 2 7s) / Bet: $5 / Pot: $13

21.3% chance to turn an out

To justify calling $5:
the pot must be $18.5

For a pot of $13:
the max you can call is $3.51

Don't implied odds justify the call?
