Ignore pf for now... I'm working on my pfr game. ;)

UTG is your standard fish. I don't recall his stats off hand but just think fish. To me, his donk min bets here meant either a dumb draw, no hand, or a monster. The fact that he kept calling me down makes me think either monster (flopped str8 and under sets definitely included in monster) or dumb draw. I guess I just didn't know which option it was, didn't have a strong enough read and didn't wanna risk a stack to find out. Anyone besides old man Warpe call here?

1/2, 2/3 pot insta call right?

i make a crying call -- I think your ahead against a fish more than you think here.

Weak lead-call - weak lead-call - overbet? Good laydown.

I think I call here, but it's close. He could also play 55 or 77 or 2-pair this way.

I also raise a bit more on both the flop and turn. Your goal is to make it easy to get AI on the river, but by the time you get there you have more than pot behind. I raise to $5 on the flop and then to $15 on the turn. If he calls both that leaves you with less than 3/4 pot behind on the river.
