Re: stars 1/2 - straight out of position - check raise or bet out?
PF: I fold this to a middle or early position raise. I *might* call if it's a late position raise that is an obvious steal attempt (which this is not), BUT 54s is a -EV hand, and really, it's only good multi-handed so that when you hit you are getting paid off.
It this situation, fold PF. (note: I do not play online, only live in high-rake LA)
Flop: Bet/CALL if raised. The reason for the call is that it sets up a C/R on the turn.
However, I do like to see two small bets going in here in the flop, so check raise is a possibility, though I personally like to CR the turn when oop. If you bet here, and are only called, then you need to lead the turn. So I prefer to bet and hop I get raised, then call and CR turn.
Turn: As played, good. Of course, if you check flop and it checks through, lead turn, and if you bet flop and were only called, lead turn.
River: Bet/3bet. No way anyone has a full house or they would have 3 bet their set or aces up on the turn I think. Ram and jam, man!
