Default I play for free but did it cost

Both players are very new to me. Figures are relatively pointless as far as sample goes.

FWIW. both are shaping up to be passive preflop.

Absolute Poker
Limit Holdem Ring game
Limit: $3/$6
6 players
Converter

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is BB with J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
2 folds, CO calls, Button calls, SB folds, hero checks.

Flop: 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3.67SB, 3 players)
<font color="#cc0000">hero bets</font>, CO calls, <font color="#cc0000">Button raises</font>, Hero calls, CO calls.

Turn: 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (4.83BB, 3 players)
Hero checks, CO checks, <font color="#cc0000">Button bets</font>, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises</font>,

ehhh...

What's your reasoning? I don't think you are folding better hands here. I either call or fold here, leaning towards fold.

Once BTN bets the turn its time to fold, the pot is too small to do anything esle.

I highly doubt you are folding anything out that he bets the turn with. I fold it.

Against your average player, and without any strong reads, this looks like a spew to me. Apparently these games are much different than the ones i frequent though. I just noticed that Co is still in the hand, and probably intends to get to the river with or without odds to draw to his str8/flush draw..

Fold turn!

Default Meta game quiz?

For this thing to work you need more things to happen than Lee harvey Oswald's mmagic bullet that killed Kennedy.

The button has to be on an overcard flush draw, the co must have a weak holding that he is ready to lay down for two. If you can divine both of these things than we need to harness you to start picking lottery numbers,

However you are at the table early and if you want to create a loose agressive pycho image that you can take advantage of later by tightening up and having them over adjust to you then this hand really becomes a metgame quiz that you are playing for your own enjoyment.

May the Force be with you.

Maybe we should coin a new phrase to go with FPS if it doesn't already exist, WEPS = win every pot syndrome.

You can't take the FSD here if villian was on a draw so what's the point. In a bigger pot the play may have some merit as we face CO with two if he is drawing and the small chance we have the best hand. Now add your passive read and this is really a nose pincher IMO.
