Big Pot

[bilbo-san]

No specific reads, but it's been a very loose, preflop passive table. That is, before the flop it is not raised much but afterwards it seems normal. Then again, I've only been here a couple of revolutions.

Comments on all streets appreciated. I'll mention, though, that if you tell me to fold this pre-flop given the LP preflop texture of this table, then I respectfully disagree.

The more I think about it, the more I don't like this cap -- it's -EV against two callers. My thinking is that MP1 might cap anyway, so I could do it, and possibly disguise my hand a bit. Silly or not?

Bad 3-bet or not?

Correct? Bet out? C/R?
