This situation comes up so frequently in my play. I'd like some input on whether I'm playing this correctly.
Reads: Big Blind is fairly loose passive.
PokerStars 0.50/1.00 Hold'em (9 handed)
Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with K/images/graemlins/spade.gif, A/images/graemlins/heart.gif. CO posts a blind of $0.50.
UTG folds, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, MP3 folds, CO (poster) folds, Button folds, SB folds, BB calls.
Flop: (5.50 SB) 5/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 9/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 8/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, BB calls.
Turn: (3.75 BB) 4/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, BB calls $1 (All-In).
Should I be backing off here? There are now 2 hearts and two diamonds on the board. To me that is eliminating half of my outs (A /images/graemlins/diamond.gif, K /images/graemlins/heart.gif and K /images/graemlins/diamond.gif) as being potentially bad. With my opponent being the BB and loose, he could have anything at this point.
River: (5.75 BB) 3/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="blue">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>
Final Pot: 5.75 BB
