It's a nice limit hand, I call with no clue.

I recently doubled up for the second time using the shortstack strategy. Yeah, I know it's not like playing the cadillac of poker FOR REALS. Don't wanna hear about it. Pretty boring game. Occasional limpfests, no lags, tightish play.

Pokerroom 200NL-9 handed

UTG+1 ($200 in chips)
MP ($354.40 in chips)
CO ($66.40 in chips)
Button ($250 in chips)
SB ($256.20 in chips)
Hero ($101.20 in chips)
UTG ($187 in chips)


SB posts blind ($1), Hero posts blind ($2), UTG+1 posts blind ($2).

PRE-FLOP: Hero is BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img],Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG calls $2, <font color="red">UTG+1 raises to $5</font>, MP calls $5, 2 folds, CO calls $5, Button calls $5, 1 fold, Hero calls $3, UTG calls $3.

FLOP: (6 Players) 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img],9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img],7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="green">(~$29.00)</font>
Hero checks, UTG checks, <font color="red">UTG+1 bets $5</font>, 3 folds, Hero calls $5, UTG calls $5.

I didn't want to lead the flop because of so many opponents seeing the flop + the board is paired, which could get me (especially a limit player like me) into real big [censored]. So OG raiser underbets the pot, should I have checkraised him? How much? Is $30 good? Anyways, I called because I'm such a weak-tight pansy with anything resembling half a stack.

TURN: (3 Players) Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="green">(~$42.00)</font>
Hero ?

I was thinking lead for $20-$30, should I just pot it?

Let's say I don't improve on the river but I still have top pair. Give up on the river if he calls turn? Check-call a river bet? Fold to a river bet? Bet the river?

Bleh, evil evil game.
