    Similar?

    Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ Hero (5 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    Button ($98.50)
    SB ($32.90)
    Hero ($105.90)
    UTG ($99)
    MP ($32.22)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with 6, 6. SB posts a blind of $0.50.
    UTG calls $1, 1 fold, Button raises to $6, 1 fold, Hero calls $5, UTG folds.

    Flop: ($13.50) 7, 8, 7 (2 players)
    Hero checks, Button bets $10, Hero calls $10.

    Turn: ($33.50) 2 (2 players)
    Hero checks, Button bets $10, Hero calls $10.

    River: ($53.50) T (2 players)
    Hero checks, Button checks.

    Final Pot: $53.50

    My thinking was, his bet on the turn in relation to the size of the pot wasn't right. If it was closer to 2/3 or pot bet I would have folded. Also would have folded the river had he bet anything more than like $5. Close?

    Yeah, very similar--unconvincing betting. And it would take a lot more than $5 to get me off that river. More like 1/2 pot-ish.

    i dont mind it. paired flops are a favorite of a lot of opponents to try and steal. if i flop trips i always bet it, because people expect a check/raise with trips.. conversely if I know the player thinks hes good, and will try to steal the paired flop i'll check-raise him, both of the hands so far are great opportunities to try and c/r the flop to take it down right there.
