Default 10r/ Taking my chances with 55, shortstacked.

Table was loose-passive preflop but I raised anyway hoping to take it down pre obv. I had been tight but unsure if anyone had noticed,more so when 2 players called.

I liked the flop giving me flushdraw + pair and atleast 40% if they didnt have K and x of club. Think they would fold all clubs eccept A, and maybe Q.

Good to go with or should I get out, and is an allin bet on the flop better?

I think you have to muck this here with your stack at a loose passive table. I'd just shove the flop, overbet be damned.

No me gusta. You don't have the chips to raise this pf. On the flop, with 2 in the pot, I think you have to check fold. If you checked and Button bet, I would like a check raise AI better than your lead.

I hadn't noticed two calls. I still probably push though. I'm very bad at digging myself out of holes.

DDBeast,

I think your right about preflop, that was bad against this table.

Why? They are loose and have lots of stuff which they will abondon to a bet + that we have 40% equity against many hands that call. Am I off here?

Wouldnt this represent a draw since we risked it getting checked around?
