same loose passive table as my other straight draw.

PokerStars 2/4 Hold'em (8 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is CO with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG calls, 1 fold, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, Hero calls, 1 fold, SB raises, 1 fold, UTG calls, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, Hero calls.

I can't see a raise doing any good here vs this many opponents, so I just decide to lurk along and see what turns up. my plan is to play a pair fast if I get one.

Flop: (11 SB) T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (5 players)
SB bets, UTG calls, MP1 folds, MP2 calls, Hero raises, SB 3-bets, UTG calls, MP2 folds, Hero calls.

Here I raise for value and to take a look at a free card if my turn doesnt hit. sb staying aggressive tells me he may have something like a big broadway and a queen or a big pair. In either case the only hand he holds that I fear is QJs, and I don't know that he would play it that way pf.

Turn: (10.50 BB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players)
SB bets, UTG folds, Hero calls.

He's not folding and neither am I.

River: (12.50 BB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB bets, Hero folds.

Final Pot: 13.50 BB

Now I fold.

I'm mostly interested in pf and the flop. Are those out of line?

i raise this pf everytime, but i dont play much full ring. I think the flop raise is fine. value+free card (maybe).

grunching

Preflop: I raise, you probably have a better hand than the limpers.

Flop: Looks perfect.

I'd raise preflop. You've got a strong hand, plus it's likely to give you the button the rest of the hand.

Postflop, I like the play on all streets.
