Slender is the Finger

HJ in this hand is a solid tight aggressive player, who is a little too passive preflop. CO is loose and semi-aggressive. For numbers people he is a 47/16/1.1 guy. The table is playing really loose.

Interesting hand. I'm gonna be the wuss and say to just call, but I'd feel pretty good about it (I mean, we win over 50% of the time here). If we raise, then I'm not sure that CO will fold a better hand than ours, and he's likely to fold a worse one. Also, it's tough to say what HJ is on. What does a solid tight agresive player limp with here? Could be be a lot of suited connecters that make one pair, maybe J9, or a set of 22's? I don't think you gain any money here by raising when you're ahead and there's a reasonable chance you're behind, so call.

A raise on the river here would be for value. As for HJ, I feel that he was almost certainly on a draw given his passive action throughout the hand, so I don't think I can get an overcall from him at all.

Anyone?

I would have given serious though to 3 betting the flop, and it plays out a little differently after that. as it is I just call, no one is folding a better hand behind you, but you have serious kicker problems here so raising sucks.

in fact folding might be best.

EDIT: actually you action is confusing. did CO bet the turn? if so easy river call. if he woke up it's tougher.

Yeah I messed the hand up, CO bet all along. HJ just called all along. I am really curious if anyone sees value in a river raise here.
