unless table dynamics are towards large multiway limped pots, I'd fold or raise this. bet .75-1 on the flop, then 3 on turn . river Id bet a little more than half pot shove is fine.

Looks good.

Don't like the flop bet. Either bet more (for FE) or check.

Rest looks good.

[/ QUOTE ]I agree. In PNL they recommend betting more when you're semibluffing so when you hit you get more and to maximize FE. It's something I've been doing for a couple weeks now and it's working very well.

I just call the river mini raise. Thats only 3 bucks, so no big deal.

[AlexB182]

Played fine IMO. The PF limp is arguable though...

[Fiasco]

im torn on this river 3 bet. It seems like villain's most likely hand here is Kx of clubs. Maybe thats just me being paranoid. If villain was deeper youd have to just call, but since its just a bit more to get him in I guess it cant do any harm.

I think its looks fine. I will stand up for your weak flop bet here too. You have a lot of limper and you don't want to give everyone a free shot at another card. Plus you have a good draw so building a pot up it alright. Also when you be so small and say get 2 callers, if the turn comes a club than this is a good spot to put in your larger semi-bet. Plus you have position on everyone so building a nice sized pot isn't a terrible idea. IMO. Raise preflop though, what are you going to do it the flop had come J or 10 high?

[/ QUOTE ]Hopefully fold. Limp or raise is fine, just don't fold.
