We are playing live 0,5/1€ NL with a 5€ straddle on the button (so first to act is SB preflop and button has the option to raise if limped around). So pretty much a game with one 5€ blind.

SB: 550€ (tight fish)
BB: 800€ (good thinking reg)
HERO (UTG): 1000€
MP, HJ, CO have around 300€-500€, but are super nitty, 3betting like 2%.
BUTTON: 800€ (loves to see flops, the biggest fish at the table)

HERO: 8h 6h

SB calls 5€
BB calls 5€
HERO raises 25€
Button, SB, BB call.

FLOP: K

SB bets 55€
BB calls
HERO calls
Button folds

TURN: T

SB checks
BB bet 165€
HERO calls
SB calls (LOL

)

RIVER: 3

SB checks
BB bet 300€
Hero ???

FWIW I hate your pre-flop raise-- After that, I think you played it fine, and I would definitely just call here. I see no value in raising as I don't think you are ever being called by worse-- I would also recommend you post this is in the LLSNL forum as well, you will prolly get more responses there

^ I think we beat a few more hands than just bluffs.
KJ, QJ, KT, QT... TT maybe. AhJx, AhKx, AhQx.

Anyway, getting better than 3:1, I call but am not thrilled about it.

Why play 86s then fold your flush? You got exactly what you were looking for. Pay and pray.

PF raise gives me the willies. To avoid this in the future make sure it's 86o instead.
