25NL, Raising the OESD, then making it

[Fallen00]

I dont like the flop raise at all.. you have OESD with medium pair.. you could well be up against an already made better straight.

At best on the flop you have 11 outs. If you make two pair its worthless as on this co-ordinated board you will loose a majority of the time to a better two pair or str8. Even with trips you have some kicker issues.

Once you make your hand on the turn, I dont like the near psb. You blow away almost any hand that does not have a queen. I think we can easily eliminate villian having a set as you would of been all inon the flop. No flush is possible, so I think you can assume villian has two pair. In this situation you want to bet an amount that he will call. If this is me on the turn I bet $7-8 to make it incorrect for villian to keep drawing to the FH with his most likely two pair hand, but allows you to get the rest in on a safe river and let villian make a crying call.

I think your play is fine. Preflop, JQo is just fine to limp OTB after 2 limpers. Calling the raise from BB is okay because MP3 is staying in the hand. I play 6-max, not FR, but I'm not tossing this given the looseness of the raiser and MP3.

I like the semi-bluff raise on the flop because you're trapping MP3 and BB could be c-betting. I think this is a good play given MP3's stack size.

When you spike the A on the turn you're splitting with AQ and killing anything else. 2 pair is calling this almost always.

Your play was quite aggressive, but I think it's good given your position, the stack sizes, and your reads. NH, IMO.
