My feeling was pocket 5s for a boat showing such strength but could i have busted his aces or kings here?

3 combos of 55 is wayyyy to narrow of a range to consider folding to. A7 could be in there (4 combos). I can't fold here personally but better ppl than me may disagree.

fold pre, more flop if you`re gonna raise it, don`t fold turn.

Calling this kind of rubbish is why your PFR/VPIP is so out of wack. Fold more pre, increase win rate.

Villain seems pretty LAGgy so no way I'm folding here. For sure he has TT+ in his range and maybe some flush draws like AKss and KQss.

I think you can either call down or raise flop more and jam over when he 3bets. I'm leaning towards trying to GII on the flop. Also, LOL @ putting him on exactly 55.

Simply a cooler if he has pocket 5's, no reason to fold, just take the hit. Also don't call pre flop with hands like that unless your getting like 10:1 pot odds.

Thanks for all the posts. Im gunna go with 'stupid move buddy' LOL

I usually like to smooth on the button with hands like this because it seems easy to pick up a smallish pot with air most of the time with a c bet

Is that wrong then? Whats an ideal set of stats? My hud is telling me im an 'ABC player' so i thought things were all good

If your hand is suited call on button is definitely fine IMO.
