Typical Small Stakes Overcard Spot

[James.]

a 30/7/2 limps in EP, a 21/5/.73 calls in the sb, i raise A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] from the bb, both call.

Flop(6sb): J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

i bet, both call.

Turn(4.5bb): 5 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

what's the plan small stakes? check or fire? if check, check fold or call? if fire, b/f or b/c? what makes that decision so hot?

[KitCloudkicker]

i usually b/f. that might be bad.

I don't mind b/f, this is a very drawy board & we could still be ahead, that 5 seems pretty harmless. But if we get popped I don't like our chances.

I originally wanted to bet the turn but after Stoving this I am not really excited about our chances.
I tried to find ranges that they play pf and also have some reason to call your flop bet while also considering that you showed strength raising pf from the BB.

I am sure some might prefer different ranges and I probably left some spade hands out for the SB but I was getting tired. Of course, who knows what some people might call flops with.

I often bet here. Then again I don't think my opponents even check their cards until I bet the turn.

I like the betting option here because a)you don't want to give anyone a free card and b) lot of low limit players will call the flop with just about anything and fold the turn when the betting goes up...jb

Um, no decision here is so hot. But, this is a multiway pot, that went two bets preflop. Anyone who had a gutshot, clearly had the odds to call your flop bet, so I am not surprised that I got called here on the flop. If MP had some of the flop, he probably should have raised to get the SB out, if SB had a nice peice of the flop, he should have either raised the flop, or donkbet one of the streets so far. Individually, I put them on hands that I am ahead of, so I think we have a value bet on the turn. Additionally, I don't have such a powerful draw here, that if I do get raised on the turn, I am not costing myself anything extra, because I am not going to have a problem letting go of this hand against rational opponents, and both of yours seem at least semirational, so if they raise me, I am folding without a worry.
