4/8 Commerce... Too aggressive with midpair?

[Malachii]

Commerce 4/8, pretty standard loose/passive table.

SB is this old Persian lady, total calling station, will only bet out with a very strong hand. Pretty passive player.

BB is more of the same (you see why I love 4/8!). Pretty fishy, calls and chases a lot, although occasionally he'll make some weird preflop raises that don't make much sense. Not quite as predictable as the SB.

MP2 is a pretty good player who's had some bad luck. Not really a factor in this hand.

Cutoff is mediocre. Not a good player, but not too bad, calls and chases a little too much sometimes.

Okay, on to business.

Hero is on the button with A /images/graemlins/spade.gifQ /images/graemlins/diamond.gif

MP2 limps, Cutoff limps, Hero raises, SB and BB both call, MP2 calls, Cutoff calls.

(8 SB) Flop comes K /images/graemlins/spade.gifQ /images/graemlins/spade.gif5 /images/graemlins/heart.gif

Everbody checks, I bet, SB and BB both call, MP2 folds, Cutoff calls.

(6 BB) Turn is 8 /images/graemlins/heart.gif

Everybody checks. At this point, nobody has really shown my aggression. It's possible that any one of the players could have a weak king and be check calling it, but all 3 will be calling with a LOT here. They could have a flush draws, straight draws (gutshot or open ended), bottom pair, anything. Anyways, I decide to bet. Everybody calls.

(10 BB). River is the 7 /images/graemlins/heart.gif. SB bets, BB calls, Cutoff calls. I fold. SB is a very passive player and there's no way my midpair can possibly be good here if she's betting out.

My main question is on the flop and turn: Was I too aggressive? Should I have checked the turn, given that they're very likely to call me and could easily be calling me with a weak king? And another question: Assuming everybody checks to me on the river, is it worth it to fire another bet out here as a value bet?

Thank you in advance for your replys.

no, you bet the turn for the reasons you mentioned in your post

Would you bet the river if everybody had checked?

[DBowling]

depends. how good of a hand must they have before they will bet? how weak of hands will they call with?

if they will call with any pair and will bet out TPGK or better, i would bet.

Agreed.

At the club where I play, a lot of the old timers like to play any two suited cards and continue if there's even one of the suit flopped. Depending on how your villan has played, I would say Hearts isn't out of the question.

If that's the read you have (three-flush on the flop, player who likes to call that kind of thing all the way), you have to be STRONG. Obviously it's WAY -ev for them to call down, thus mega+ev for you to bet strongly. Of course, the heart comes and you fold to a bet, no flush and you bet on the river.

Assuming that's the read. If it were in my club and I was playing against one of those old-timers, that's how I would have played it.

I don't see any other way to please this hand...well done.
