    Pre-flop: ($3, 6 players) Hero is BB
    UTG raises to $6, UTG+1 calls $6, 1 fold, BTN calls $6, SB calls $5, Hero calls $4

    Flop: ($30, 5 players)

    call turn and fold low card on riv but call high card

    lots of times the fishy villain will be betting 22-77 and will shut down on riv whenever a broadway hits

    if he fires riv when a broadway hits I'd tend to call since usually the fish don't make thin value-bets and he either has a big pawket pair, quadzillas, or a stupid semi-bluff where he was drawing dead in the first place like JT

    folding is fine too, but without reads I tend to be curious
    when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?

    considering the flop checked through and the fact the turn was a very safe card, id want to put out a small ($16ish) turn bet to protect my hand and hopefully pick up the pot.

    I think I'd be too curious to fold here. I tend to call these and fold to a decent bet on the river. Most definitely a bad play but I just can't help myself.
