PTR had his WTSD:13 W$SD:56 AT NLHU 50 He was a pretty big loser. I only played 20hands with him, but decided he was a weaktight villain.

the river shove is probably pretty bad and the entire play is pretty unnecessary imo. i also much prefer to 3bet this kind of hand preflop.

How do you make a read like this after 20 hands?

I just looked at his stats on PTR for the stakes limit game type and he had real small VPIP and WTSD

I like the play unless someone could give me a good reason why its bad. I rep 2 pairs OESD, sets and the nuts. Most over pairs I'm probably 3betting PF. So my hand looks a lot like 57/35/22/66/44/64. Also I realize 20 hands is very small sample that's why the title is called suicide play. But against most all villains I don't see how they can call the river with an over pair, when the OESD hits the turn and if they peeled the flop with overs like AK/AQ they couldn't call the river.

this is making wrong read by wrong sources, adjust with a bad play to this read. think about what his range is here after the flop and especially after the turncall and how often he folds
this should kinda give answers to your own question

Pre flop. Fine.

Flop. Check raising here is fine. We have some overs and a backdoor draw and if your read just happens to be correct he'll probably fold a lot of stuff he shouldn't.

Turn. Good turn card for you. Bombing it is fine. If he calls here at 50HU it is def. time to shut this down.

River. Lighting money on fire. If he somehow found a fold, that's amazing. But when he calls the turn he is basically calling any river, and this is the blankest of the blank rivers.

i am not sure villain assumes that you can vbet 2p so early on the match...and when he calls that turn pot sized bet he prob calls most rivers given that there isnt any fd...
