How bad is this?

Live 5/5 NL Hold'em. Full table. Hero and villain both have between $1.5K and 2K. Villain is not a great player and has appeared a little LAGish in the last hour after building his stack with some good cards. He has probably raised pre-flop at least twice a round (rarely limping).

Two limpers and Villain (in MP) makes it $20 to go. Hero calls, limpers call.

Flop ($90): 8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] t [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Checked to villain who bets $50. Hero calls and limpers fold.

Turn ($190): 4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Villain bets $120. Hero calls.

Is that terrible?

seems fine, assuming you can get some money off him when you hit

only bad thing about this double gutter is its not terribly well disguised, id assume this cuts down on the implied odds a bit

I guess that was the issue. I was not sure how frequently (or how much) I would get paid if I made the straight. I decided that there was a significant enough chance that I could have a big bet called on the end (and hopefully villain would bet into me as well).

As it turns out...

Villain checked. Hero checked.

Anyone bet on the end?

I would value bet the river. I doubt he is checking a hand that beats you and most likey he is going to show you a pair of tens. I'd bet $250.
