    Default do you c/r the river here?

    no reads whatsoever. only the 2nd hand at the table.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    Button ($4.40)
    SB ($8.95)
    Hero ($10)
    UTG ($9.75)
    MP ($23.05)
    CO ($3.20)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with 6, 6.
    2 folds, CO calls $0.10, Button raises to $0.3, 1 fold, Hero calls $0.20, CO calls $0.20.

    Flop: ($0.95) K, A, K (3 players)
    Hero checks, CO checks, Button bets $0.2, Hero calls $0.20, CO folds.


    Turn: ($1.35) 7 (2 players)
    Hero checks, Button bets $0.2, Hero calls $0.20.

    River: ($1.75) 6 (2 players)
    Hero checks, Button bets $1, Hero calls $1.

    Final Pot: $3.75

    do you worry about AK, AA, KK slow playing here? that is the only reason i dont c/r the river "blank". in a fr game, i dont raise here w/o knowing the villain is at least loose to SD. but is there a difference in 6max?
    LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

    Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!

    I fold the turn if not the flop. I don't think I'm afraid of a higher boat here.

    I'd fold too, you are beating almost nothing and might be drawing dead. just lol, maybe make a note, and move on to the next hand.
    but I think once you hit either lead big or c/r. I don't know about getting away from it, but possibly if he insta shoves or something. not being sure of this is why I'd fold the flop though...

    the more i look at it...

    this is stupid...its a sure fold by the turn. what else can i beat w/o my 6 hitting? nothing that would raise and bet twice, right?

    kind of a donkey move...wow.

    If you think he is weak then raise him. Otherwise, 66 is not a hand you want to be calling down with.

    may be a leak of mine, but i have a hard time laying down marginal hands against "sissy" bets.

    when i have MPGK and someone bets .25 on a 25NL table into me, i generally will call and take another card, in a 3+ way pot. HU, i will usually raise back. i just dont tend to give respect to minbets on the flop...too many cards to improve marginal hands.

    minraises are another story, but i find minbets are not a sign of strength, but a scared bettor.

    i think you played it fine, but once you hit on river i would just put him allin for the rest of his short stack

    I don't like the flop call. Sure it's a weak bet, but what do you beat? He raised pre-flop so you have to think Ax, Kx, pp, which all beat you. You need a 6 which comes hits about ~1:20, so you need to make $4 if it hits (the rest of his stack), and you're either behind a real hand, or a shitty hand folds. So, if you want to play, raise his flop bet. Make it $1, if he calls check behind on turn.

    I'm not sure you can call it slow playing when villain bet every street. Just because you know it's a shitty bet doesn't mean villain does.

    I don't think a worse hand calls the river if you raise.

    i wonder if this guy would have called a raise...he showed AQ.

    but that is moot, at this point, i think we can all agree this was a very -EV hand that i got lucky with.

    thanks guys.

    Kx is never folding here.
