Should I make pot sized bets all the way so when I get to the river here my shove is about pot size, or play it this way but make a smaller value bet on river, or this is fine all the way doesn't matter?

Villain is loose passive over a small sample.

Villain is very loose and passive but over a small sample. 67/11/1 over 18 hands. He open-limped several times already from MP and LP and one of those times he showed down A4o for Ace high after calling a c-bet then checking it down.

Is this enough of a read to go for 3 streets of value?

with the 7 on the river for sure, you are splitting at worse now with another T. If he played an over pair this way, so be it. Planning to c/c would be bad, he's going to check back anything worse than a T, and only value betting hands that beat you.

What if he puts in a big raise over my river bet? He took a long time to call and I got to thinking, "crap, what if he makes a big raise," and then I wasn't sure what I would do if he had. Of course, I should have thought about that when deciding whether or not to bet in the first place.

Default $25NL Set...

Would anyone worry about his turn CR?

Anyone fold to turn CR?

Is calling the pfr ok?

It all looks good to me. Your preflop call is fine especially since you both have almost double stacks. I guess TT and QQ enter my mind in the milli-second between his turn c/r and my snap call with fist pump.

Default Re: $50NL - Extracting with a Flopped Set

JB's set of 3's hand:

right or wrong, I would have bet smaller on the river like 25-30.

Somewhere Sklansky said it is not about betting an amount they are most likely to call, but betting an amount that has highest expectation so if betting $5 gets called 100% ev = $5, but betting $50 gets called 11% then ev = $5.50 then betting $50 would be best choice... but you probably already know this...

JB T6s hand:

I probably just c/c reasonable bets flop-river. I find that I often lose to a bigger kicker no matter what anyway [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Well I bet on the flop and turn because his preflop range is so wide that I probably have the best hand. Also, the flop has a lot of draws and the hand is vulnerable and benefits from a fold.

If villain calls I still might be ahead plus I have a gutshot str8 draw. Since villain seems so passive he's unlikely to bluff-raise me out of the hand or even raise me out of the hand with something that's currently ahead of me like KT, AT, etc.

I feel the same way on the turn for the most part.

I could also win by bluffing if a scare card comes on the river (maybe a J or any diamond) and maybe move him off a hand like KT or AT, although I'm not sure I would try it against this guy.

A raise would be so weird that I might look it up. I'd probably just think zomg, got A9 to bluff! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
