    Default Did I do something wrong?

    Villan is 30/1/1 over 96 Hands.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (5 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver Cards)

    SB ($31.65)
    BB ($29.25)
    UTG ($35.55)
    MP ($25)
    Hero ($31.50)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with , . MP posts a blind of $0.25.
    1 fold, MP (poster) checks, Hero raises to $1.25, SB calls $1.15, 1 fold, MP folds.

    Im betting Pot to take away any Flush draws/Straight Draws.
    Flop: ($3) , , (2 players)
    SB checks, Hero bets $2.5, SB calls $2.50.

    I didnt really put the player on AK simply because Ive been picking on his blinds quite a bit, and I thought he would have played back at me preflop. Also, I would think if he does have a hand like AK, he is going to shove here.
    Turn: ($8) (2 players)
    SB checks, Hero bets $7.5, SB calls $7.50.

    I get really confused here, and this is a very common spot I run into in 25NL, I really think thats the biggest difference between 25NL and 10NL, the decisions werent as tough for me.
    River: ($23) (2 players)
    SB bets $20.4 (All-In), Hero calls $20.25 (All-In).

    Final Pot: $63.51

    Not sure about the river call. I can't see what you're beating here. From players with his stats he could have a worse kicker but this line by someone so passive is generally the nuts. Unless you have specific reads that he bluffs at missed draws I think you're behind a lot. Mind you I don't know if I could fold this at the table without time to think it through, with a third of your stack in the middle and 2-1 on the call, BvB.

    ugh his river shove is most inconvenient, but hes a freaking passive donkey. i think he likely continues his c/c line w/ trips. i doubt hes capable of bluffing a missed draw.

    up to river you played it perfectly, but i just think this is a fold as sick as it sounds even though it is 25 NL.

    Yeah I agree with will. I learned the hard way by calling in these spots that its almost never a bluff. It sucks but you should fold the river. This is that type of players value/i got lucky on you line.

    So should I still have led out the turn?

    not to mention that we have a really good hand. trips w/ open ended SD, boat draws, and a good kicker to boot.

    I meant if they were going to draw it wasnt going to be free.

    this depends so much on the player it's hard for me to even guess at
    when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?
