Final Pot: $6.75

the converters messing me about so what happened on the flop was that I checked, raiser bet $5 and button folded. Hero? I'm thinking he may well be raising with a fairly wide range here to isolate the limper, so a raise is probably the best play, right?

I would raise because this looks like a c-bet, so you might win the pot right there, and you probably have &gt;50% equity in the pot. You are likely to have 14 outs and almost certainly 8.

EDIT: If he reraises, I would shove (not much more left at that point). You could also fold to a reraise if you were sure he had a set (hard to tell after 40 hands) but calling a reraise would be worthless.

[bluffbetter]

Anyone else? Is raise flop and call shove very standard here?

[whyzze]

Considering your reads, I doubt he bets without a decent hand, especially not in position.

I like a b3b better than a c/r.

I don't like this. I guess with MP in there and Button calling, we can make a case for calling preflop, but I really really really hate playing OOP. Depending on table volume and whatnot, I think I'll often just dump it preflop. If we had a bit more than 34 hands on him, and he still had those stats, I might 3bet this PF.

For the flop, I'd say look at flop aggro/cbet #s, but 34 hands is too few for those. I call and reevaluate turn. With .5 AF he doesn't strike me as the guy that'll bet this turn without having something, he'll just check behind.

I dont like calling the raise pf here. This hand plays better multi way. I dont want to call and play this hand oop when I will have to fold to a cbet most of the time. As played I prefer to lead the flop and raise if the opportunity arises.
