a common situation

no reads, but very loose table. a few greater questions:

is this played right?
MP hesitated to bet every street.. should I have raised him to isolate?
In general, do I want to raise to isolate with these MP TK/2K hands?
if i call on the flop, is calling down appropriate?

I would have bet/called the flop and fold the turn UI.

you mean just called? it was a bet to me on the flop.

i also brought up this hand because MP had a very peculiar bet, constantly hesitating.

Sorry I read the hand wrong.
Since you act after the raiser, raise and call a 3 bet fold the turn UI. If he just calls, take the free card on the turn or bet for a free showdown.

If I'm playing this preflop, I'm raising to buy the button and knock out the blinds.

Accordingly, I'm raising the flop.

[Cancuk]

I would raise preflop. or fold preflop. either one.

raise preflop.. good point!

but anyway, about the general question of these second pair hands?

[Cancuk]

raise the flop, bet the turn, check the river behind. fold to any aggression UI.

Why do you bet the turn if you check behind on river?

If you think you're behind, Why bet turn? If you think you're ahead why check river?

i don't get this line, please explain

[Obliky]

Raise preflop, especially as the table is very loose. You more than likely have a better hand than MP (preflop) so raise for value and to isolate.

Just to check my reasoning, we are raising this flop to protect our hand right?
