    Ugly hand. But I think the check on river by villian is bad? I figure you can check back a lot of hands on that river. Diamond draw for example, over cards and high PP's (which I think makes up a lot of your range by the turn).

    Leading river would be weird after the turn action...

    Big B's range on the turn after raising is going to be quite polarised so I'd be expecting him to bet the river a high % of the time.

    Looks like you got pwned. Only 3rd nuts on river, easy lay down ;)

    BB the min raise on the turn, raise it a decent amount!

    How's it bad? He got max value!!

    And yeah as Chris said betting would be bad. If hero did have diamond draw or over cards then he's clearly not calling a river bet. So the only way to get value with the 55s is to check and hope he bluffs his missed draws. OK, we miss out from an OP but that's a small part of Hero's range which he might fold to a large river donk anyway. (plus he could potentially still go for a very thin value bet)

    Only possible bad play is the river ship by hero - may scare hands out that would of called a 'normal' sized bet. Not just that but from a theoretical side I'm guessing hero doesn't have too many overbet bluff ships here. So it's very value oreintated and definitely looks like a FH at least. Thus, a good villain isn't going to go broke with less than a FH. (and that's like I said missing lots of value from hands that might otherwise call -staights, 5x (that aren't FH) and any back door flushes. But at low stakes it's not too much of a concern.

    I see your point, thank you.

    I was just wondering and not being results orientated.
