$60 - L6 BvB

[Little John]

Villian was loose-passive (41/5). I'm not sure if I played any of the streets correctly. Comments appreciated.

I'd advocate completing pf vs this read. You have a very nice stack &amp; raising a hand that's very tough to play OOP vs this kind of player is probably not optimal.
As played, raise less pf, keep the pot under control. I'd bet/fold the turn.

[Pudge714]

Complete preflop.
Bet river.

[TruFloridaGator]

Pudge, you don't bet/fold the turn here? I guess I'm more used to it in a hand like this if we're completing pf where the pot is much smaller. I'd def bet the turn if the pot wasn't so large.

[Pudge714]

TFG.
The board is so drawy that a passive villian can call really wide.

I'd raise a tighter player, but A5 is going to be tough to play vs a guy that likes to flat call. Complete pf, bet river, as played fold.

[Little John]

Thx all. Guess I can quit raising Ax into a loose-passive.

Question - what about 22-66. You just complete these?

[TruFloridaGator]

I'd raise 66, complete with the rest.

good advice, thx
