74s out of control ...

[GlemZurg]

I felt a quite wild on this hand (frothing frenzy as I recall). Let me know how you all would play it.

Just sat down at the table and didn't know either player.

All advice appreciated.

Thanks,
Justin

On the flop, I don't think you're that likely to fold out the small blind, who has already called 3/4 of a SB once (so I'm thinking he's likely to call one more full SB now).

I don't know what I'd do on the turn. It would probably depend on my mood. I'm thinking you're probably behind the small blind, but this is a spot where you might be able to get him to fold a better hand (if he doesn't have a flush). Of course, if he does fold, you could easily still lose the side pot to CO. And the small blind could easily have been calling on the flop with a spade.

I think I'd usually check-fold the turn. But sometimes I would bet-fold instead.

with such a small pot and no real draws (gutshot with no spade) I don't like the reraise on the flop.

You've got middle pair no kicker on a single-suit flop, and somebody bets into you? Just let it go. Hell, you put in half the pot when you raised. That's some aggressive fighting for a tiny reward.

Fold the flop.
