SB (2170)
BB (3340)
** Dealing down cards **
Dealt to HERO[ Jd, Td ]

<font color="blue"> Obviously, I thought about pushing this flop, but villain had been very loose calling people's pushes. I figured I'd call and make a play on the turn. I was afraid that he had some piece of the board and that a push would appear weaker than just calling and betting the turn.</font>
** Dealing Turn ** : [ 5s ]
BB bets (200)
HERO raises (1000) to 1000
BB calls (800)
Oops. Oh well, still have plenty of outs.
** Dealing River ** : [ 7s ]
BB checks.
HERO checks.
BB had a pair of 6s (!) and took the pot. I still had t765 left after losing this pot and I got lucky and came back to win the tournament.
Obviously if I had known that his holding was as weak as 66, I would have pushed the flop. But he was so loose that I thought that he'd call a flop push with a K and that my line looked less suspicious.
Was this FPS or does anyone else like my line against an opponent such as this? Would any of you guys have called my turn raise with 66?
Comments on all streets appreciated. I thought that this hand was very interesting.
