    Default flopped wheel

    Should I just check behind here or bet the river again. If so, how hard should I bet it?

    raise more on the flop so you can build a pot since you're 150bbs deep. You gotta think of the next streets and how you can get the money in when you flop a hand like this. Miniraising is not setting up a 300bb pot. Raise to $2 and if he calls the pot will be $5. On the turn bet $4. If he calls the pot will be $13 and he will only have $8.45 left so it sets up a nice river push that isn't even a potsized bet. Even if you raise to $1.50 on the flop it sets up just under a pot sized bet for the river but you have to think of these things when you're playing.

    raise to at least 1.80 the flop. Think of opponents range. Yes you have the straight and he's likely drawing close to dead, but if he has 54 is he going to fold to a larger raise? no. a fd? no. A pair of 5's? no.

    pot turn and just get it in somewhere.

    as played bet river of course and hope trips some random crap calls.

    Obviously he had 74 or a boat but river is still a bet, micro stakes players are donkeys.

    well, the min raise on the flop was a miss click. i bet $5 on the river and he turned over 77.

    Wait til you get more responses before you say results. And also say that the flop was a misclick so we don't waste our time.

    As for the hand. You're 150BB deep, you want to raise the flop big big big. Turn should have also been a bigger raise.

    By the river, i'd be pretty sure you're still winning since a normal player would have played a strong hand differently and probably wouldn't be checking this river. I like the $5 bet, although if he check raises you should let it go.

    Any decent player with a better hand than you would have been raising you to get it allin. You gotta bet that river, esp since he checks to you....pot it and see what he does. If you get raised, you are probably beat...
