    Default I'm such a calling station

    Villain just sat down but I've played a few hands with him before and he is taggy. Thoughts?

    PokerRoom No-Limit Hold'em, $4 BB (5 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    Button ($320.15)
    SB ($226.85)
    Hero ($544.70)
    UTG ($561.90)
    MP ($208.05)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with T, K.
    1 fold, MP raises to $8, Button calls $8, 1 fold, Hero calls $6.

    Flop: ($25) 2, 5, T (3 players)
    Hero checks, MP bets $18, Button folds, Hero calls $18.

    Turn: ($61) 8 (2 players)
    Hero checks, MP checks.

    River: ($61) 9 (2 players)
    Hero checks, MP bets $38, Hero calls $38.

    Final Pot: $137

    Hmm...fold pre-flop unless villain is a donkey.

    As played, I think this is fine.
    All your checking induces a bluff on the river: easy call.

    Villain is not, but button is (a big one, should've mentioned it in my original post).

    I agree about river. I'm more concerned about the flop and turn.

    I think pre-flop is OK, it's only a min-raise, and S00ted.
    I like the checks, keeps you from getting blown off your hand. Sucks if he his a straight draw on the river.

    No it's not only a MR. This is not $4BB contrary to what the HH says.
    It's a pokerroom glitch; it's really just $1/$2.

    "Hero is BB and calls $6..."

    Nah pf is fine, I call this all day. Folding is too tight imo.

    Like Sauce said I lead the flop often. But you played it fine, and sometimes he'll have 910s or JQ what can ye do.
