    Default A5 makes trip 5s from bb

    Villain is unknown in this hand. As you all know I'm trying to break my nitty ways, but I'm trying not to spew. I put this guy on precisely 67 or 5 with a lower kicker. I didn't think a boat plays this fast. Standard? I usually get weak/tight and fold in this spot.

    Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ Hero (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    SB ($9.05)
    Hero ($51.25)
    UTG ($49.25)
    MP ($21.30)
    CO ($110.22)
    Button ($113.10)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with 5, A. SB posts a blind of $0.25.
    1 fold, MP calls $0.50, CO calls $0.50, 1 fold, SB (poster) completes, Hero checks.

    Flop: ($2) 8, 4, 5 (4 players)
    SB checks, Hero bets $1.99, MP calls $1.99, CO calls $1.99, SB folds.

    Turn: ($7.97) 5 (3 players)
    Hero bets $5.55, MP folds, CO raises to $36.1, Hero calls $43.21 (All-In), CO calls $12.66.

    Any idea how he got his stack?

    I'd give him the benefit of the doubt here and not play a big one.

    Playing "weak tight" facing extreme strength from a probable passive player is not such a bad policy.

    lahoozer,

    I think this one is a close one. I think I call here, because his overbet seems fishy. If he has 67 for the straight you have loads of outs to boat up

    All he beats is 5-6, which constitutes a relatively small portion of his opponents range, and he's getting very poor odds. I think this is a fold.

    He probably flopped a straight and is freaking out because the board paired.

    Holy christ that's funny. I just imagine a guy screaming at his computer "FUCK YOU ANOTHER PAIRED FKING BOARD! ALL IN WHORES! NOOOOOOOO!"
    It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
    Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.
