Too aggressive with set?
 

Party Poker 0.5/1 Hold'em (9 handed) converter

Villain (BB) was very loose and passive (66/2.3/.5), but I didn't notice anything else about her. How about the turn check/raise? Should I have just re-raised that flop, being somewhat coordinated?

Villain turns over a 9 for the turned straight.

3-bet the flop, bet/call the turn and hope for a boat on the river.

What he said.

Re: Too aggressive with set?
 

flop - not aggressive enough, three bet here to make him pay to draw.

turn - too aggressive. If he really is passive, he is turning over a 9 here, check call.

river - pray for a boat, if not, pot is still big enough to check call.

Check/call the river?

Here's how it should look:

Edit: Looking at the hand again, I might consider a preflop raise to be a good idea here. It really just depends on your reads.

Re: Too aggressive with set?
 

Maybe I shouldn't drink and drive but is pfr 99/9x with limpers and raising oesd passive? And why didn't he raise river? I would've guessed he had TT or maybe an overpair, didn't get a chance to rr flop and slowed down with the turn action thinking set of J (even though you didn't pfr) or two pair...

Re: Too aggressive with set?
 

Someone who raises 2.3% of the time preflop is raising 99, or A9 here? I'd put him on JJ or TT before a straight.

fair enough, but do you change how you play it from the way I posted?
