BB ($26.80)
UTG ($8.25)
UTG+1 ($16.36)
UTG+2 ($26.50)
MP1 ($28.90)
Hero ($45.77)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $0.10.
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls $0.25, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Hero calls $0.25, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, SB (poster) completes, BB checks.

SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">BB bets $0.25</font>, UTG+1 folds, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $1.5</font>, SB folds, BB calls $1.25.

Turn: ($4) 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $2.5</font>, BB calls $2.50.

i like everything but the river.

why o why did you not raise this?

Re: Another bottom set post
 

What do you put him on? He plays the entire hand passively and then wakes up on the river? 2-2? I don't think he's calling raises and check calling the turn with 2-2. No draws got there and I've represented strength on prior streets.

why go to a showdown when you can bet a perhaps get more value out of the hand?

you're only behind 77 and 88 here.

just calling seems like the worst play.

.edit forgot about 78, 73, 72

but i still think you should be raising this.

Re: Another bottom set post
 

At $25 NL, Its very likely he had an overpair like AA or KK here and has you on 8s. See it 2 or 3 times a session.
Its more likely he called the flop with second pair and thinks he's ahead on the turn.
Id guess your ahead here 80% of the time.

Me too, the question is whether it's a lone 7 or not. I forget villain's stats but he was relatively passive and the stop 'n go just reeked of strength to me.

Re: Another bottom set post
 

a lone 7 IS strength to many many 25NL players. Thats why it might reek of strength, because trips is overvalued at this level

[img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] He's checking A-A or K-K from the BB with a field in front of him? And I'm open-limping 8-8 from MP? Then he goes nuts on the river after I seemingly value bet him on the turn?

I assume by "set", you mean trips. Regardless, yes, this is why I felt a call was justified.
