200NL - I suck at playing draws

[moldman]

Villain here is 22/7/0.5 over 300 hands. Pretty bad in general from what I can tell.

This hand is a bit different because of the board pairing, but I'm curious how others would play it as is and also if say the flop was 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] or anything else where the board isn't paired.

I'd probably play it the same against this villian.

Against a tougher villian i'd probably fold PF, being OOP.

Edit:
Well, maybe the check/raise on the flop isn't the best line vs. this opponent. 0.5 is passive. If he has a 7 though, he may re-raise you which you don't want. If he doesn't have a 7, he probably still has something and will call you unless he is a folder.

Also if he is a station, he may still pay you off even if your flush card hits. Maybe check/call might be better. Just some thoughts.

Is he a station or a folder?

i think this is ok

[moldman]

I wasn't sure about the station/folder thing at the time, but I definitely have a note now that says he's a station.

[effang]

um. paired board against zero agg opponent who b/c your flop c/r and raises your turn?

it's good you have the nut straight flush, because you only have 2 outs here...right???

I b3bai to maximize FE on the flop.

Too fast? Am I missing value? Spewey?

[Renton]

c/c flop.

fold preflop

I don't like this against a super passive poor player. He won't raise your flop bet with a hand he will fold to a 3bet all in.

Umm... not even close.

This is a pretty clear fold pre-flop. Little suited connectors just don't play well out of position, especially in raised pots when stacks aren't particularly deep. You just don't make big hands often enough to play them without stealing and it's tough to steal well when you put yourself at a positional disadvantage.

On the flop, you're drawing to the non-nut straight and non-nut flush on a paired board. I just don't think getting it all in is how you make money in no limit.
