<font color="gray">CO folds</font>, Button calls t200, Hero calls t100, BB checks

Flop: (t600) 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 players)
Hero checks, BB checks, Button checks

Is preflop OK or complete spew ?
Flop ?
Turn ?

Personally I fold preflop because I'm not delighted to play this hand OOP, but I don't think that completing is terrible since you have implied odds to play for 2 pair or better.

No way I bet the flop and on the turn I check again with two opps in the hand. If somebody has a higher flush draw and it hits on the river you have seriously bad reverse implied odds. Even though it's a small chance, it's not one I really want to take on the bubble when you're second stack and the big stack is in the hand.

I think PF isn't terrible but as taipan said is your going to be OOP which is a good enough reason for a fold PF plus give someone else a chance to bubble.

I think turn is standard.

the stacks just suck on the bubble for this IMO, i like just folding pf. I don't know that it qualifies as "complete spew", though.

Preflop and flop look fine, personally I just check/call turn as being raised here sucks

I like it Rex. Decent hand w/ good odds preflop. No one has much interest so stabbing w/ flush draw seems fine.

[TruFloridaGator]

Looks good, can go either way preflop.

I like the check on the flop and the semi-bluff on the river. No one has shown any strength by then and you have clearly have a lot of outs. Yes, someone may have a higher flush draw but more than likely not.

As for PF, completing is ok. I probably complete more than I should in this situation but completing 0% is probably bad.

When we do semibluff on the turn is 400 (2/3 pot) the right amount? Would not a 250 bet accomplish the same thing? A genuine question not a criticism.

sbj : bet &lt; 1/2 pot really give me a reason to call, usually.

And here I don't want to be called.
