Checkraising LP bettor w/ mid pair

all participants besides me have vp's in 40s and fairly passive. was the preflop completion bad? was the flop checkraise okay?

I like this too, but what do we do if UTG or MP2 bets? Fold?

Probably peel depending on the number of callers.

Depends on who calls. I'd often peel. I play loose on the flop because I think implied odds are generally underestimated.

I like this a lot better if MP3 had raised preflop.

But if MP3 raised pre-flop then we aren't even in the hand...

Sorry I thought of that the minute after I typed it. I'm just saying I don't personally like going to war in this small pot. Just seems pretty marginal to me, depending on reads. He says the table is passive meaning it's more likely that MP3 has a hand, and less likely that he's going to isolate, which is going to make the turn and river very difficult to play. And the pot is not offering big enough of an overlay to make up for it.

my plan was to fold to a bet from UTG or MP2, and only raise if MP3 bet (could be with any two). here the isolation didn't work, and i was wondering afterwards what i would do if an undercard fell on the turn, and what i would do if an overcard fell on the turn.
