Default Slow down with second set?

First posting after a long hiatus. I'm playing on PokerStars now because I saw I had $3 left in there. I've managed to bring that up to $11 over 2k hands or so, and I'm very surprised at how hard the .02/.04 and .05/.10 tables are. I'm not the only guy multi-tabling... it's weird.

Anyway, I want to know if anyone slows down with this hand.

I don't remember any specific reads, but BB is 46/5.4 (just 47 hands).

Should I have raised again? Thanks.

you 3-bet and called the cap on the turn, and river card was not a scare-card for you so your situation did not get any worse...raise for value.

Hmmm ... let me see ... you are only behind KK ... 4 donkeys are happily paying off every street ... BB is loose ... may certainly have AK, AA, AQ, or something totally silly ...

I see absolutely no reason to slow down. Pump it up for value all the way on the turn. Bet, raise and cap a safe river card.

Heads up you might consider it, but given the overlay you're getting from everyone else... just use that raising rock and start worrying about what your opponents are overplaying when you start playing 0.1/0.2.

FYI the river will be a [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] so you should do everything in your power to make sure its 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

your calculations are off, at 0.02/0.04 most players actually have a worse hand than random.

3.) place lolcat on left mouse button
4.) ensure cat and mouse stay on "raise" button
5.) ????
6.) profit
