Please critique this $20/40 hand:

Nice loose pretty passive $20/40 game.

Player A limps in on the cut off with 4, 5 d after 2 limpers, knowing the button is very loose passive. The button limps and the two blinds call.

The flop comes kd 8d 2s.

The little blind bets out and the big blind raises. Player A cold calls the raise and the little blind calls. The turn brings the 6 c and the board reads kd 8d 2s 6c giving player A not only a small flush draw but a gut shot.

When the small blind bets out and the big blind raises, player A is pretty certain that he is good if the flush hits the river as well as his gut shot. With this read, he cold calls 2 bets and hits the flush on the river.

Was player A justified in calling two bets on the flop and turn?

[WMB]

yes

[ScottHoward3.0]

did somebody yell at you?

[Isuckatpokah]

lol of course he was! he even was if he hadn't that gutshot. Dude it's a flushdraw and if the board isnt paired u can/have to almost always go to the river in limit!

[Bob T.]

No, I think player A is a friend of his, and sucked out on him, and he wants to prove to his friend that he shouldn't have stuck around.

[pennir]

yes, the big blind is my friend and he was angry that I stayed in the hand and busted his set of eights.

[WMB]

even if you knew he had a set, you still had correct odds to call.

[rafiki]

only thing player A did wrong was call preflop. Certainly missed a few bets along the way, but there's no way you're holding the turn, lol.

[Chino987]

standard pf, standard everything. teach your friend pot odds.

ya I didn't notice "loose passive"

I don't mind the limp as much when you take that into account. I need to stop skimming.
