Given the weakness of the limper, I think I would have bet on the river.

Looks ok. Depending on the limper I might check the turn and fold to a river bet, but it really depends on whether he'll call me down with 76o here.

A river bet makes little sense with two overcards out there in my opinion.

His villain likely has an Ace or a Queen, so Hero should take the free showdown.

I might have limped instead of raising pf unless it was a tight table. Anyone else limp?

Looks like the raise worked out for you on this one, I would have played it the same after the flop.

Limping is fine. I'd be more likely to limp here than raise.

Thanks. I raised because I am feeling these games are tight and when you raise you can reduce the field a lot like happened here. Also I wanted a free showdown, because I dont think some higher pair will really fold here, and I have been raised/checkraised a lot lately, many opponents are slowplaying their good hands till the river at this limit.

If the table is as tight as you say, raising PF isn't a bad play. Under normal circumstances, I limp from MP with 88.

I'd check through on the turn with three overcards to my pocket pair. I don't think he'd call on the flop with a six here, with the table playing tightly as you describe. I'd put him on a weak ace. Plus, this pot is tiny, no need to get aggressive. Check the turn, fold to a bet on the river.
