Missed the Flop... What now?

[SimonAllan]

Comments? Villain is quite tight, and not very aggressive.

I know some will say the pre-flop raise was too loose, but the table was pretty passive, so I thought it was fine.

C-bet as normal. He calls. What now? He must have some part of the flop, or a pocket pair, because there are no draws on the board, and I don't think he'd try to run me off the pot with nothing.

Should I fire again on the turn, and, given that I didn't, is the value bet on the river good? Too big/small?

bet more on the flop - say $4. Any less looks weak to most SSNL's, and you don't want to look weak. The rest is fine.

I haven't played full ring in a while, but when I did, I think I folded this pre-flop, but raising it is better than limping it, I think.

Other than a couple of bet size tweaks (I raised as much as 6BB + 1BB/limp at NL50 pre-flop, and I'd bet closer to the pot on the flop), I think it was played fine.

hand looks perfect to me, i make it 2.5 preflop and 4 on the flop, but those are pretty nitty comments, i think he has a hand like 66,77,99 here.

3 seems fine. Its a rainbow paired board, its unlikely he hit it so it takes less money to push him out and you'd want to bet less if you had something.
