I'd only recommen stealing this if you have good reads, because this usually gets called in more than one spot.

Postflop, meh. I do the same given the circumstances.

Really? It's feels strange to bluff when I have nothing but then check when I spike a pair. So often people fold to the turn bet but not the flop bet. Oh well. It does seem that only better hands would call the turn anyway (but at party .5/1 you don't know what sort of junk you could be up against).

I'd bet the turn, folding to a raise, and checking behind on the river.

Any read on BB?

Preflop is fine. You need to learn to play these types of hands with good position against the blinds.

Good flop bet. But bet the turn. You still could have the best hand, and you want to get value from gutshots, a single spade, or a 6. Getting check/raised is okay, since the pot is small and you can safely fold.

Even if the SB and BB call with a big range of hands I think this PFR is still +EV since you will have position against a large range of hands.

I agree with the others, bet/fold the turn and check behind the river. Nice hand otherwise [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

Yeah it is okay if you intend to fold the river UI. Betting the turn can't be all that bad either though. If you are planning on putting a bet into the middle, it has to be on 4th street.
