too passive?
BB in this instance is very loose and very bad post-flop too.
Hero is on the button with A-Q. 3 limpers, hero raises, BB calls and limpers call (10SB’s) Flop: 5,5,6 rainbow. All check, hero checks? Turn: Q. BB bets, all fold, hero calls River 10. BB bets, hero calls Reasons for not raising turn or river: · He could easily have a 5 that he wanted to check-raise the flop with (cos he likes check-raising as a rule) and I don’t want to be 3 bet here · If he’s bluffing I don’t want to scare him off (turn) |

Re: too passive?
raise turn, he much more likely has a Q, a pp, a weak 6 or even a straight draw. some players will even bet here with A high.
regardless, your ahead of the majority of his range, and if he peels the turn raise you get the same 2BB from calling down, but when you raise you get a chance at a 3rd on the river. |

Re: too passive?
Answer - WAY 2 Passive
bet the flop to keep control & see if you get a c/r (a Much better sign of one of the only two 5s left) Raise the turn - once again to see if he likes his hand or has something like 6-2!?! If after this line BB still bets the riv, then call. AS it stands, you win here very often. FWIW, don't give a ML opponent credit for the nuts as a rule of thumb. Make them earn it by their play. |

Re: too passive?
thanks for the replies, if we get c/r'd on the flop, how much further do we continue?

Agree with Beachman42
Raise flop, raise turn, then call down with further resistance Where's AK when you need him? Crovax |

[/ QUOTE ] While more info (# of limpers, read on villian, etc) would help, if all limpers fold to the raise, I fold too. Pot would be too small to try to draw to a 6 outer to 2nd best. This is exactly why you bet the flop - cheaper to let go in smaller pots. |

Grunch:
I think that I would bet the flop to keep the lead. On the turn I think I raise also. Once you raise the turn it changes the dynamics of the rest of the hand. In the case that he comes along for the river and bets again I call it and see what he has. (this river line may be passive) |
