Good position play?

[marsvolta619]

BB is kind of laggy but I've noticed him raising and betting with nothing a lot.

Why not bet the flop? As you did not, the turn raise is great.

[Nikla]

Grossly misplayed on all streets. Raise PF and follow it up with a flopbet. Instead you chose to limp PF, check behind on flop and put 2 big bets in on turn in a very small pot having no idea where you stand in the hand.

You need to work on your game.

Raise preflop. I don't see any reason why not to.

Bet the flop. Again, you have position on two people who have showed zero strength.

Fold the turn, the only hands you beat are a bluff or pair of fours. The pot is small and you could be very far behind.

Two threads in a row where my advice differs from Nikla = I suck.

Can't believe I missed the extraordinarily bad pf limp. Given the way you played the hand, though, I still like the turn raise more than calling letting a six-outer get another shot on the river or letting SB stick around with who knows how many outs. If it were HU and there was a 80%+ chance that the BB bets the river whether he improves or not, then I'd just call.

The pot may be small, but I think BB is probably full of it, and Hero picks up this 2.5BB pot with his 2BB investment on the turn raise *well* over 50% of the time.

(Which means, yes, that raising the turn here with AnyTwoCards is something I'll do a nontrivial amount of the time against an aggressive opponent.)

You gotta raise this PF.

I'd bet the flop too.

[JrJordan]

What others say. Raise PF, bet the flop. Since you didn't I think the turn raise is ok here if you have a read that he'll try a steal. You might even get someone else with a mid pair to fold when it's two to them.
