SB is loose passive.

Party Poker (6 max, 6 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
2 folds, CO checks, Button Raises, SB Calls, Hero 3 bets CO folds, Button calls, SB calls.

Flop: 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 players) SB bets, Hero Calls, Button folds

Turn: T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB Bets, Hero Raises, SB calls

River: 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets, SB Calls

The converter messed up there. I called the flop intending to raise any non board pairing card on the turn.

Delete the "Texas" from the top of the hand history when using Bison's converter.

Against a loose passive this is a bad line. You are charging yourself more to draw since you are a dog on the turn when called (which is always) and LPs don't bet less than AK-hi into a pfr.

Raise the flop, take the free turn card. You've now exploited a LP - you've put 2SBs in on the flop when you are only a small underdog, you can bet again on the turn if you hit, and take the free card when you miss. He'll call a river bet (possibly a river raise!) if you hit on the river.
