2PTK OOP

[Aaron_]

Loose and passive all around. I want to hear your thoughts on OOP aggression with marginal holdings against weak opponents.

Preflop: Hero is BB with 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG calls, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, MP3 calls, CO calls, Button calls, <font color="#666666">1 folds</font>, Hero checks.

Flop: (5.60 SB) T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
Hero checks, UTG checks, MP3 checks, CO checks, Button checks.

<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, UTG folds, MP3 folds, CO calls, Button calls.

Flop: Being OOP with MPTK getting checked thru was good thing. I don't think you could have ventured a bet here.

Turn: Good bet with top 2P.

River: I don't like the button's wake-up with top and bottom pair on the board. Yes, we have a better two pair but I don't put it past him to have trips or better. I think the smooth call is ok.

I think it's fine. The river check is far better than a river bet. You might induce a bet from a worse 5 or an ace-high or something like that.
