TT in early

[Frelled]

Thanks to everyone for the replies. After thinking about it I guess I've always been ok with betting, but raising (or knowing I'll be raised) seems to be a bit of a phobia with me. Must put that right [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Oddly enough I've had similar hands twice already and wondered if you could tell me if I'm getting closer to where I should be with this.

In the first hand MP2 is loose/passive/aggressive.

In the second hand BB is a different opponent but he's also loose/passive/aggressive.

SB folds, BB checks, Hero checks.

I checked here because I figured if I was behind I could easily be check raised, and I might as well take a free card. I also figured that no matter how bad I play, it's not as bad as SB [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

River: (7.50 BB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
BB checks, Hero checks.

River completed the flush draw so again I feared the check-raise (especially with the two overcards) so I just checked.

Final Pot: 7.50 BB

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Frelled.
