I continue to struggle with these kinds of hands.
Am I raising to "protect my hand" in the right spots?
Is it even worth the hassle here, or am I just throwing good money away by playing it like this?
Party Poker 0.50/1 Hold'em (9 handed)
Preflop: Hero is BB with J/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 4/images/graemlins/heart.gif.
UTG calls, UTG+1 folds, MP1 calls, MP2 folds, MP3 calls, CO folds, Button folds, SB completes, Hero checks.
Flop: (5 SB) J/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 2/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 9/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="blue">(5 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">SB bets</font>, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, UTG folds, MP1 folds, MP3 folds, SB calls.
Turn: (4.50 BB) 7/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, SB calls.
River: (6.50 BB) 9/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">SB bets</font>, Hero calls.
Final Pot: 8.50 BB
<font color="#990066">Main Pot: 8.50 BB, between SB and Hero.</font>
I think this play is best if the SB is really aggressive and would bet draws and weaker hands than mine, correct?
How would you approach it against a typical Party micro-limit player and/or table?
