Again, having issues with pokertracker, but I'm sitting in a FANTASTIC 5/10 game in the big blind with 55- I think the whole table read Psychology of Poker on backwards day and thinks that loose passive is the way to play

UTG and CO limp, SB completes, I check, 4 to the flop of:
3 /images/graemlins/heart.gif 5 /images/graemlins/spade.gif Q /images/graemlins/club.gif
SB bets out, I call, everyone else calls as well...hmm...

turn is 9 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif
SB bets out, I decide that this is just about the safest board I've ever seen, and call again, going for overcalls. UTG and CO call again.

River is 2 /images/graemlins/heart.gif
SB bets out, and I call again. Comments? I'll post results later, but I'm curious if you'd have popped this on any/all street- I thought that I'd the SB would probably call a raise here on a river, but I'm not sure if I'd get anyone behind calling two cold. Perhaps the turn would have been a better place, but I was hoping someone else would come alive and raise it. I don't mind my play that much, but I'm looking for comments.

i have to give a serious hand a chance to lose a lot of bets - overcalls are fun but capping is more fun

i can probably stand the flop and turn but i cant go all the way

Geez, that is a tempting line. I hate myself for saying it, but I think you played it exactly right.

I have played similar hands the same way. With no flush or straight draw on the board, a raise is likely to knock people behind you out and maybe fold or freeze the SB. I like this line because often times the SB will be raised behind you and then you can start having a whole bunch of fun.

That turn card just brought in multiple str8 draws. Any JT, KT, 8T type hands picked it up as well as any A2,A4 hands. This is when I want to charge them as much as I can to keep chasing, and if they are chasing this is when they'll call, not on the river when they miss.

So I raise the turn, if you lose person or 2 so what.

Absolutely correct. This is a turn raise in my book because there are draws out there after this turn card.
