25nl, TP + FD odd turn spot (150bb deep)

[ShipitFMA]

<font color="blue">Villian is 35 / 14 / 2 over 88
I've been running 19 / 11 / 1.7 over the same size </font>

<font color="purple">I guess this is a pretty standard spot but im not really sure what the best line is i feel really awkward betting 6.5 - 7.5 and facing a raise

Is this a check behind then call any river bet?</font>

UTG checks, Hero ???


edit: looking now, i guess this is an easy check behind...but what calls the flop that checks the river?

You have put yourself in a really good situation here. Whatever you do will not be too terrible. I would bet 5 or 7 most times and check lots of times too depending on how you think he plays. Since he looks pretty loose I would lean toward betting.

Are you betting for value?

What worse hands call? 77 88 99 AXss ?

And, if he raises?

[DirtySanchez80]

i think betting is fine (lil bit more than 1/2 the pot)
u might get villain to fold his draw or weak T

taking a freecard is fine as well.. dont wanna build a big pot with this hand

Villain looks fairly loose. IME, these players don't like just folding on the flop to a raise espec after they have raised preflop and bet flop. If u think this read is fairly accurate then we should go ahead and bet, or else we've wasted the time spent judging him. We are probably in the lead and don't want a big card to hit the river.

All of these. At these stakes villains call with worse.


And, if he raises?
If you bet 7 and he c/r all in then obv fold. I would call a c/r up to $15-18 and fold to higher.
