    Villian is 55/2.4/0.60 over ~30 hands. No strong reads otherwise, I don't think I've seen him continue with a hand past the flop.

    What's your play here on the river? What else could have been improved about this hand?

    personally, i see the .6 AF. and i bet smallish again. somewhere around $30. i doubt he would have called the flop bet on a backdoor str8 draw. maybe a busted flush...he will fold. maybe and 8...he will raise. maybe a 9/T, he will call. if he raises, get out, depending on the size of said raise. i hope with an unpaired 7, he would have folded on the flop, but you never know with passives.

    i would give the opportunity to raise my bet, but make the bet look like i am begging for a caller. if you bet 3/4 or ps, and he calls, i think you lose.

    probably has a 9.
    LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

    Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!

    I check/call any reasonable bet because value is too thin. if he bets hard i fold.

    I like betting 25-30, think ur ahead of his range here and he's not betting much of it, and it's a super easy fold to any raise.

    otherwise I raise to 5-7 preflop (whatever can get away with vs this guy, when he's seein lots of flops but folding when he doesnt hit substantially), bet pot on the flop, and maybe 1/2 on the turn but 2/3 seems ok too.
