New player sits down at table at MP, does not wait for big blind. He checks. CO also limps. I am sitting in BTN with Qc8c. I have just been folding folding folding due to being card dead. I raise to 45c.

New guy calls. CO folds.

Flop is 855 with 2 spades.

He checks, I bet about 2/3 pot. Looking to just take the pot there with a vulnerable made hand. He calls. Turn's another 5.

At this point, I am feeling good because I am not afraid of any flush or str draws (except the str flush). I am only concerned about an overcard pairing possibly on the river. I don't think he has an overpair due to action so far. Even if he limped with AA/KK, he likely would have threebet me preflop. With TT-QQ, he likely would have raised pre.

I bet a bit over 1/3 pot. He comes over the top with a big raise to $4, which is more than the pot. The size of the raise just didn't feel right.

He certainly could have the last 5 or even 88, but it's unlikely given the size of the raise (though some of these guys do bet big when they have it). I felt like he was probably thinking I had two overcards and my small bet felt weak.

IF he's bluffing (which I was leaning toward because at 10NL at BOL, alot of these guys can't help it), I can't all in, so I just call.

The river is the 6s. Unless he has 4s7s, 66, the last 5, 88 or 99 I am good for at least a split here. (Given how aggro he is being now, anything higher than 99 he likely would have raised. Even 99 is unlikely. He probably would have opened preflop).

He insta-shoves all in, which is less than $5 into a roughly $11.50 pot. I call.

Would you play any differently here?
