55 in the CO

[Justin A]

MP in this hand is typical 60/10 way too loose type player. No read on BB.

What do you think so far and what's my plan for some different turn cards?

I raise this PF. On the flop I would probably just call and see what happens on the turn as I think a raise bloats the pot too much and often gets you 3-bet with you still not knowing where you're at. On a safe turncard you can bet if checked to or raise for a free showdown if BB bets again (safely folding to a 3-bet if it comes). You can also get out of the way if a bad card like an A, K, or Q hits and the BB bets.

My thinking was that with the loosie in the middle who was unlikely to have anything, I could find out right away where I was. BB is unlikely to 3bet me with overcards when I raise after a caller like that.
