[the machine]

im trying to be a little loose early on at the table to establish an image, and since its 5 handed i only think this is marginally loose

im curious about the river though readless.

Pfr is 100% std. The rest is too if you called.

ok just wanted to make sure.

would you consider the whole hand standard? i usually go for pot control on the turn because i can be a sucker for paying off sometimes to a min raise and such. would b/f be ok on the turn or is check behind better in your opinion nick?

It's pretty player dependant. Vs aggros checking is fine to induce and prevent getting bluffed (you obv can't call a c/r). But vs aggros I'm more likely to check the flop to induce.

Vs the random 100nl-player I think just bet/folding the turn and checking the river behind is best. There's plenty of draws but I'm not really worried I'll get semi-bluffed alot vs an unknown. I think he has KQ/fd/JT etc alot and the best way to extract from them is betting the turn imo. Sometimes he has a better hand but usually betting the turn won't cost us more than checking anyway.

op is really going out on a limp playing a7s from MP. I bet the turn a lot but checking is fine for reasons u stated. This entire hand is abc, call river plz
