The table was fairly loose/passive and the villain definitely had shown an affinity to pursuing draws.
What do you do preflop here? In retrospect, I think I should have raised, but the presence of the other cold-caller froze me.
What do you do on the flop? Would this have been a better time to wait till turn to raise, just to prevent drawers from getting better odds?
I think that the turn was ok, since the villain did not seem the type to c/r without a made hand. But had the villain been the aggressive type, would it have made more sense to check the river, just to get a cheaper showdown?
