5/10 WK TP in MW pot

MP is a pretty bad, loose player. His main mistakes are limping too much preflop, playing somewhat passively postflop, and a general blindness to hand reading/board implications. Button is TAGish statistically, but unfamiliar to me (no notes)

you mean CO is bad loose passive right?

i'm thinking: bet. if co raises, fold. if co calls then button raises, fold. if co folds then button raises, call?

wow, nice post. I didn't even think that deeply about 'the donkey factor,' although I'm sure I considered it in the hand. You're right, it's way different without the live one in the pot.

I bet/folded after CO called and button raised. So check this out, the river is the 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], CO check-raises button, who calls. CO shows K6o, button shows A7o.

And another BB is saved by a successful bet/folder.

Since you have no read on the button but know he's aggressive, if he raises after CO folds you're getting 11:2 to call down so I think that might be enough to do it. But since the button probably knows CO isn't going anywhere, he almost acts as bluff-raise protection after he calls. And of course the button's line looks just like a hand with a 7 in it.
