Same game as other thread, very loose. UTG was 75/29 after 60 hands. SB is 66/10/0.83. I raise becuase I was certain they would call, and pretty certain if I hit a flush, straight, 2 pair or wahtever I could stack one of them. I've hit my straight, been bet into. Now what?


edit: I guess more loose-passive than lag but whatever

Pot size is good relative to his stack. He's passive so he hit/has something here. There aren't many turn cards that kill the action. If you call there is $3.4 in the pot and he has $5.3 left after his bet. I would call and expect him to bet again, and shove. If he checks just bet 2/3 pot and he is committed on river. Shoving now might force him out and if he calls you're seeing two more cards anyways. I'd rather hang him here.

Deeper you should raise.

Raise to something in the upper two dollar range. Get some money in when they are showing the most interest, which is right here on the flop. Minraise might even be OK here, but something bigger would be better.

thats a pretty big raise pf, for that game, i like .35 or even .40, thats straight insane, but anyways...i just call here, again him leading into you, means he prolly just has TP w/ no kicker...lol, he's checkin a set to you...my guess he has like 88's and a raise might scare him away...just call and hope for a card that will felt him...KP

I dunno man, 2 limpers in front, thats just 3.5xbb + 1 for each limper.

Anyway I agree with you guys. Call or raise small since his stack is small and not many scare cards can hit. I messed this one up and raised too much.

raise it, and expect to get value from an over pair

Re: NL10: flop straight against lag, help extract
 

You certainly have to raise here, because a lot of the range for villain doing this is the medium pocket pairs (that usually aren't folding on this flop), but they might if a scary card comes off. Defineatley raise. $2.85 seems like a good amount to raise to IMO, keeps the pot building process going nicely too.
