Turn is a tough spot if we assume both villains are competent, but given description of CO as a monkey this is a call. Given your postflop action, SB assumes you're folding to turn shove a majority of the time and needs just 35% equity vs monkey CO. So his overshove range is strong, of course, but not exclusively boats (3xxx, A24x + FD, KK24 + FD, low + double FD, etc.) Shame if he shows up with J3 or JJ, but even then you have some low insurance.

Well, SB doesn't strike me as particularly competent hehe. He called my raise before the flop holding 7655 no suits (not that it really matters lol) out of position. Your reasoning is clearly on a very different level to his (same for amok). What's frustrating about this hand is that a first level player like him (or like myself) just always has a full house here and I just couldn't find a fold. I get your reasoning and amok's reasoning as well, but I don't think it applies very well to 1st level poker.

Well this one actually worked pretty nicely. CO put it in with AQJ7dd (not to the nuts) so getting it in vs him on the turn would have been rather good ...
Thank you for pointing out the advantages of playing this fast. Then again, and I may be wrong here, playing it the way I did basically gave me what seems like close enough to perfect information given turn action. Once SB shoved, I told myself "Ok, he has a full house", then I took a look at my hand and thought about what type of player CO is (which doesn't matter at all at this point) and obviously clicked the "call" button. Solid 1st level Poker.
