$5NL value bet this river?

[DiamondDog]

I realise I should have raised much more pre-flop.
What else should I have done differently, and why? Thanks.

EDIT: should have said, I was playing at the loosest table I've seen in a while, guys limping in UTG with Axo etc

UTG checks, Hero ?

Final Pot: $2.66

[Teddie]

Raise 4xbb + 1bb per limper, so that should of been $0.28 preflop.

As played bet more on the flop - about $0.55. Always bet close to the pot, you dont want people drawing cheaply.

Bet alot more on the turn, 2/3 or 3/4 of the pot. Again your giving people nice odds too call.

Bet about $1.50 on the river, you'll see alot of busted draws here that will fold anyway so thats why you need to bet more on the turn and flop.

Thanks, Teddie. That makes a lot of sense.

[BotOnTilt]

Also you can make your bets a lot bigger even if there are no limpers, you can open for 4-5x BB and still get the same callers. On the flop I'd bet .70 maybe even $1 since there are draws and if someone calls the others get cheap odds too. The turn I'd bet close to the pot. If the villain seems tricky I might check behind on the river.

Also reload, there are three players that have over full stacks, you want to get max value from them [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
