    Button is an average loose player, sees to many flops, calls too many bets

    Fold PF (and if you must play raise, but just fold).
    Flop good.
    Turn is probably fine.
    River...I probably lead river. Theres not many draws you'd induce a bluff from here, infact the most likely draw is QJ which just hit. I think b/f is better than c/c here.

    Meaning fold this trash preflop. Yeah flushes are neat but you are losing so much money here. Good players will pressure your limps when they see what you're doing, you won't get paid when you flop it outside of a cooler (which can just as easily happen against you), your pairs will always suck, you'll be drawing OOP, etc etc. This is really, really bad.

    Anyway, as played, bet/bet/bet. c/c the river isn't good because the only draw you're hoping he'll "bluff" actually hit. He's too loose, so make him pay.

    Galapogos: Thanks for quoting me and putting some a thought into my head.

    As played though I have 1 question why should I bet on the river if the only hand that calls beats me? why not induce a bluff and call since regardless of what happens I am putting money in?

    No, more hands that you beat than beat you will call, but if you check chances are only hands that will beat you will bet.

    Its a psychology thing, people will call with more hands than they'll bet. Its very unlikely villain got to this river with a hand he'll now bluff with.

    lol you say this guy calls too many bets, then you say he won't call a bet with worse when you have two pair on a not too gross board. River is a CLEAR b/f as is folding preflop. As played meh click a button

    funny that you label him as an average loose player and then you make an average loose call pre...but at this point i think your good as everyone else seems to

    And if you insist on not folding pre, at least raise.
