I like it, no draws out there, and giving away a free card would be safe the way I see it.

Is raising the turn correct? Wouldn't it be better to just call the turn and then bet or raise the river? The button is almost never going to call two cold on the turn. Not raising the turn also increases the likely hood of getting bet in to again, I would think.

I like the slowplay. Puny pot, uncoordinated board.

either way is fine, i like the way you played it though. If there was more players in the flop or if there had been any aggression preflop then i would say raise the flop to reduce the field but in this situation you went for an overcall on the flop and raised the turn to get an extra big bet.
good

I like the turn c/r. Button was prolly going away anyway with the raggy turn card. Raising the flop would only nets you half a big bet and makes SB go into check/call mode, so the extra big bet on the turn nets you more. If he 3 bets the turn you find out if he might be sitting with a set and evaluate from there.

I like your play here. On this ragged flop your hand is pretty good and there aren't any draws out there. When the action comes to you with two players left to act behind you, this is the perfect situation to call on the flop looking for the overcalls from MP2 and/or the button.

I've been drawn out on so much that my response is almost always to raise the flop. However, you have no flush draws or straight draws possible. The only thing we're really worried about is a king with a higher kicker spiking their kicker. Waiting for the turn is probably fine.
