Bones - T9s hand

I'm probably betting the turn. If not, I'm betting the river. He's passive so yeah, he could have checked to you on the river with a better hand, but you're ahead most of the time and he can call with a lot.

I started playing NL100 this month. I'm more comfortable playing a bit nittier than most of you but since my table selection has high standards I can libe with it i quess. Here are some stats over 8k+ hands or so. Anything out of order?

I'm trying cash out as well; I think I may suck more at cash than SNGs though...

BB ($36.60)

UTG+1 ($38.20)
MP1 ($24.50)
MP2 ($9.90)
CO ($4.45)
Button ($18.90)
Hero ($24.35)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 raises to $0.75</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP2 calls $0.75, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Button calls $0.75, Hero calls $0.65, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>.

Is the call PF OK? I don't like drawing hands OOP but here its a multi-way pot and I have good relative position on the PF raiser (assuming he bets the flop; have not played with him much).

Flop: ($3.25) Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 bets $1.5</font>, MP2 folds, Button folds, Hero calls $1.50.

Obviously not folding here; how often do you lead out or semi-bluff raise here?

Turn: ($6.25) 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 bets $5.95</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $11.9</font>, UTG+1 calls $5.95.

Final Pot: $50.45


Comments appreciated.

chaz (my 2 cents),

Fold that hand PF, I've learned the hard way that it's really hard to play those hands OOP and when you do hit you dont get max value. I'd also lead the flop but this is FR so I might be wrong since there are that many villains on the flop.

Chaz I think calling preflop is OK since as you mentioned it's a multiway pot plus you close the action and are getting a discount to play.

[Edit - ooops you don't close the action but there is only 1 left to act behind you.]

Whether or not I raise the flop depends on my read of villain. If he's really tight preflop I like calling better than semi-bluffing. If he's a good LAG (LAG preflop but solid postflop) I probably reraise.

I like leading the turn for 1/2 pot and hoping he shoves or at least calls. If you check here and he checks behind a club could kill your action on the river. Your monster hand is well disguised. When you lead this turn for 1/2 the pot lots of villains will think you're trying to set the price for a cheap river and come over the top.

As played I like shoving the river.

literally my second hand at this table. i don't see another way to play this. lots of worse hands call my bet, but very rarely do i run into a worse hand once they raise my bet.
