we cool with this? 22

pp 10/20. pfr is a TAG (19/11 over 60 hands) and first cold caller is unknown.

Too loose preflop? Is the flop ok? What turns should I bet if checked to? If 3-bet I'm calling as my straight draw is probably good, as well as my set outs.

Preflop is too loose. One more coldcaller and I dig. You have to be concerned about MP1 here when you make this play, but I don't hate it.

2 problems. One, the PF is questionable. It is a fold unless we get one more player in there. Two, on the flop you're not getting anyone to fold, so you might as well just call and see what the turn brings. We get more info w/o revealing the strength of our hand. We also make our hand look stronger when we raise on the turn.

I'm not liking the flop. Even when we're ahead we can get outdrawn 40 ways.

eh...

Pf I don't like. drop it. position is positive but hand strength, pot odds, and aggression are against you.

on the flop, interesting play due to the gutshot... although as a semibluff it doesn't really work since there are no scare cards on the board. however, if your deuce outs and your crab outs are good (unlikely, but possible...), then i like the play.
