<font color="blue"> BB is loose. She'll call with lots of hands preflop. I tried to steal because I had a very tight, strong image and this player hadn't messed with any of my other steals. I hadn't yet tried to steal her BB, though.</font>

BB checks, Hero checks.
<font color="blue">I put villain on a medium strength hand here. I said she was loose preflop but I haven't yet seen what she needs to call a big bet with. Should I have pushed the turn? In hindsight, I think I should have pushed because after I let the hand go there were four other stacks much bigger than mine.</font>
