awful rivercard
 

No special reads played just 24 hands with villian.
He seems loose passiv. V$IP 34/0

My plan was to raise the flop and if he calls i give it up. I think my flop raise is to small but i´not so familiar with the betsizing pattern. Please could you say me some standard rules? (I know openraise is 4BB+1BB for a limper, and cb 2/3 to 3/4 pot)

Re: awful rivercard
 

trying to read villain's hand here. the all-in on the river seems to indicate a K, so, Kx. but if it's Kx, why is he staying in with the flop and turn bets, when he's behind to any Ace with little hope of improving?

if he's got KK, surely he's not just calling down b/c he's afraid it's set-over-set against AA? and would've (?) reraised PF? if he's got AK, would've reraised PF? or would've raised top two pair on the flop?

possible that villain has Ax? or the fourth Jack?

his all-in is just a pot-sized bet at this point. not sure how that factors in.

Re: awful rivercard
 

If he is loose passive, then raising that flop accomplishes pretty much nothing. I would just fold the flop. River fold is 100% standard.

I don't get the flop raise. [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] Getting 5:1, I'm not even sure it's a good call, I don't think you can comfortably say you are infront, and if you're not, you dont have the odds to peel.
