2) The limp is a little thin but OK if the blinds are loose and passive. Post flop its played perfectly, bet/call if the opponent is tricky, bet fold if they are passive - of course this may change if you get an over-call.

I agree with you here but OP stated that the BB is new to the table and we have no reads on him yet, against an unknown opponent are we more inclined to take the free SD and check behind?

he also said "and the blinds are fairly loose" - this is contradictory of course but what I used to make my recommendation.

Ok, I missed that one. First time I read it I only caught the BB is new to the table bit. My question still stands though, Im pretty sure I check behind here some amount of the time would that be reasonable against an unknown or would you still bet it anyway ?

what range of hands are you including for the unknowns? You beat the vast majority of their range on the river. Think of the 7 on the river is actually a good card, if anyone had an OESD you might get looked up now on the river if if they just made a hand that beats you you will know it fast - fold if they are passive. The bet shows value in the long run.

Yeah I think your right, his range is likely to be dominated by weak pair/straight draw combos on the flop so I can see some room for a value bet. We realy have to be comfortable folding to a bet those times we get raised though because we can quickly lose value if we pay off too often

So yeah, you can put me in the bet/fold camp aswell now [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

About hand 2, I probably should have said "SB is loose" not "blinds," since I wasn't sure about BB. Carry on.
