2 Hand Swap Hands

[2+2 wannabe]

two hands that I was really wondering about while going over my guy's hands:

raise preflop? bet out flop?

Cryptologic
Limit Holdem Ring game
Limit: $2/$4
6 players
Converter

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is SB with 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
UTG calls, 2 folds, Button calls, Hero calls, BB checks.

Flop: 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (4SB, 4 players)
Hero checks, BB checks, <font color="#cc3333">UTG bets</font>, Button folds, Hero folds, BB folds.
Uncalled bets: 1SB returned to UTG.

Results:
Final pot: 2BB


betting this turn is probably really bad hey?

hand one i def bet out flop in the average $2/4 crypto game. I don't raise PF unless i think i get the pot when the ace flops just because Crypto people seem to love peeling the flop in a raised pot

Hand two I like with a read that villian isn't peeling flops lightly, but as mentioned in hand one... I might bet the turn if he's a 60/30/.4 or something but I can't think of a good line in general.

I think folding the flop in the first hand is wrong. As for whether betting or check/raising is correct, I am going to say check/raising is almost certainly wrong without a strong read.

Bet the flop and see what happens.

As for the second hand, I probably play it the same way.
