10/20 99 in position

[dealer_toe]

The fish on my right is why I'm taking a shot in this game, he's an 80/5 that plays straight forward postflop. The BB I don't have stats on, but so far he seems kind of fishy. He's been limping and calling way to much in the 30 or so hands. I think he's shown down some suspect hands also.

that just catches up one of the hands I beat, bet?


I think I played it not optimally, but meh after reviewing it w/ a poster. PS: those are my thoughts as the hand is going on and not very thorough.

Raise the flop. You don't know you will be bet into again on the turn. Also, if you are behind, you will be paying a lot more. Check the river.

raise the flop. this is not a good time for a free showdown raise because if you are behind on the flop you have little chance of improving and when you are ahead, you want another SB from fish. the turn card actually made the free showdown raise a good play, as it gave you a gutshot. check the river.
