50NL: Bottom two on flop, top card pairs on turn.

[Sean Fraley]

UTG is loose preflop, Button is tight. Both go to showdown more than 30% of the time. I've been playing a typical TAG game preflop, but either won with a c-bet or had to give up after a c-bet.

Given that you got called twice on the flop and your hand is suddenly very marginal, I would check and then see what the action is. Very frequently this will amount to check-folding, but I'm not willing to invest much more money in the hand.

You could be up against J9 and QJ or something, I know, but the flop wasn't really especially drawish, and I'm thinking the situation doesn't look too good. (And, by the way, J9 has 14 outs against you, so even if you're ahead, you probably have a lot of cards to dodge at this point.)

Agree with Nick. This board is tremendously dry, I'm generally checking and folding. Hope that he has 77 or something and checks behind.

If you bet, you only get called, raised by a T, so there's no value in betting. This is a c/f imo.

Check/fold.
