$100NL Flopped set turns into 300BB pot

[MatthijsH]

Hello,

I'm a long time lurker and this is my first 'strategy' post so please bear with me.

On the hand:
I have my doubts on the way i played it so advice/comments on all streets are appreciated.

Read on villain (over about 250 hands):
Multi-tabler (7), $4 is his standard raise pre-flop, pre-flop he 3-bets light when in position, cbets every flop about 2/3 pot-size. Aggresive pre-flop and on the flop but doesn't get out of line that much on later streets.

The hand:

Poker Stars
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.50/$1
4 players

Stack sizes:
UTG: $161.10
Button: $217.15
SB: $100.50
Hero: $154.10


Pre-flop: (4 players) Hero is BB with 5 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]; 5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img];
UTG raises to $4, 2 folds, Hero calls.


Flop: 5 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]; A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]; 7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]; ($8.5, 2 players)
Hero checks, UTG bets $6, Hero calls.


Turn: 4 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]; ($20.5, 2 players)
Hero checks, UTG bets $17, Hero calls.


River: 7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ; ($54.5, 2 players)
Hero checks, UTG bets $49, Hero raises all-in $127.1, UTG calls.


Results:
Final pot: $308.7


Questions:

1. Pre-flop standard?
2. Should i lead the flop knowing that he will always cbet? Knowing this, should i check-raise? If so, to how much?
3. On the turn the flush gets there and i check-call his pot-sized bet. Correct? (I am still 150 BB's deep).
4. The river pairs the board giving me lowest boat. What is my plan? Do you like my check-raise all-in?

All comments appreciated.

Greetz,

CR flop all day $18-22 sounds good. Absolutely no reason to slow play here. The turn card is pretty crap for obvious reasons and now your hand has lost lots of value.

1. Reraise preflop a lot of the times.
2. Lead or check-raise. Check-calling is bad when you got so much behind.
3. as played i guess that's not too bad. But if you had played differently on previous streets you wouldn't have found yourself in this spot.
4. You've played this hand so passively that check-raise allin is your only choice on the river.
