Pacific $2 $4

[Geo]

Very very very passive table.

First hand am dealt:

10 10 in the BB, 7 limpers to me and I check.

Flop 6h 8s 9d Rainbow

I bet and get 5 callers.

Turn 3d putting a flush draw on board

I bet get 4 callers

River 5h

I check along with everyone else and mhig.

As soon as the flop hit I thought my hand wasn't good but had chances of improving. The only hands I could put them on were better than mine or there was a huge chance of being outdrawn.

Is this an auto raise preflop and should I bet the river??

My thinking was that i would only get called by a better hand on the river but a missed draw might bet out hoping to take it down with a bluff.

Bet the river. A2 will call at pacific.

I'd raise the flop and bet/fold to a raise on the river.

Pre-flop: With 7 limpers this is a raise for the chance you hit your set.

On the flop:
With just checking preflop, I would actually go for a check-raise. I dont know where there will be a bet, but someone will sure bet this flop and hopefully its someone in late position. A check-raise might protect your hand against overcards and also gutshots might face 2-cold.

Value-bet the river, lots of small pairs will call you and you might even get raised by top-pair with ace-kicker!
