Is this fishy?

[JL]

Am I priced in to call this?

Honestly, I am lost in this hand....just trying to get to showdown cheaply.
I was going to fold to any raise on the river, but then i thought, "it's only $30 to win $230"

Villain is donkish

I like folding the turn in general

as played laugh at yourself as you light a match to 15bb and hope it's the 1 time in 473829473209 hands where your hand is good.

[Benoso]

Yeah I fold the turn too.

[larsmars]

As played, insta-check the auto-fold button after betting this river. Not only does it speed up the game, it also saves you money.

[Harry]

yes it is fishy

[pgil]

does anyone else want to bet the flop really hard, or is it just me

[Genitruc]

I don't feel like betting the flop really hard

millions of ppl are in the hand and we'll be OOP in a big pot most likely.

A huge C/R could be interesting but it's super high variance esp when pot is pretty draw-heavy (it'd be much easier to know where we stand if flop were rainbow).

[Ash256]

What about threebetting preflop?

[pgil]

the flop being so connected is why I would rather make an aggressive play on the flop, the CR being real nice.

There aren't a lot of turn cards that will make us very happy, so rather than check-call with the vulnerable overpair, and be forced to fold most turns/rivers, taking the lead and hoping to take the pot on the flop seems better. esp. since "donkish villain" has already thinned the field a little with his bet.

although, as you said, it is a very high variance play
