On a Semibluff against a Loose/Passive Calling station....

[mtdoak]

UTG is a loose/passive player. Will rarely bluff, but calls down to the river alot, even with marginal hands.

Party Poker 5/10 Hold'em (9 handed)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 3/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 4/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
UTG calls, UTG+1 folds, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, MP3 folds, CO folds, Button folds, SB completes, Hero checks.

Flop: (3 SB) 5/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 2/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, K/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, UTG calls, SB folds.

Turn: (2.50 BB) J/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, UTG checks.

Would a bet would have been better here? Even with no heart, I know he is calling me anyways.

River: (2.50 BB) A/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, UTG calls.

Final Pot: 4.50 BB

I think it looks good. Betting the flop will take it down at least some of the time, even against said calling station. The turn is great, as free cards rule.
