Preflop: Hero is UTG+2 with K/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 8/images/graemlins/heart.gif. MP1 posts a blind of $0.75.
UTG calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls, MP1 (poster) checks, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, CO calls, Button calls, SB completes, BB checks.

Passive table preflop --&gt; "knew" that I would get in with one bet.

Flop: (7.50 SB) 2/images/graemlins/heart.gif, A/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 5/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(7 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, BB folds, UTG calls, Hero calls, MP1 folds, CO calls, Button calls.

Here?

Turn: (6.25 BB) 4/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, UTG calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, CO folds, Button folds, SB calls, UTG calls.

Or here like I did?

River: (12.25 BB) J/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, UTG folds, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 14.25 BB

Raise the flop. River is a bummer.

flop call or raise seems fine i think it could go either way.

turn i definitely pop this.

river i still raise and i will call a 3-bet.

Fold pre-flop, even if you "know" something. /images/graemlins/smile.gif
Call on flop is fine seeing as you're out of position. If you were in later position you'd raise this, but in EP you're forcing the field to call two bets cold for your draw. Not a good idea unless your table has a habit of cold calling a lot.
Turn raise - good
River - raise and even call a 3-bet

I would have played it like you did if I was drawing to the nut flush. With your hand I would have raised the flop.

People play all kinds of ace rags, and if the ace of hearts is out there, that hand will never be folded on the turn, no matter what. What do you do if you get bet into or raised on the river?

[edit] Hmmm....the ace of hearts will of course not be folded anyway with the ace in the board. OK, I would have played like you did, except I would have raised and called a reraise on the river. Go for overcalls on the flop, raise the turn and river and pray the ace of hearts is not out there. Most of the time it won't be.

I think that this can be a profitable limp in a loose-passive game.

I doubt it's profitable enough to even worry about it. It causes more trouble than what it's worth IMO.

Of course, but after the chips have gone in there I will play it like he did and even raise the river.
