J8o in the BB..turn c/r

[sin808]

Excellent table, everyone is way too loose with only a couple of exceptions. CO in this hand is 41/7.8 Aggr ~1. He's shows down the likes of K5o, 92s, Q6s, etc. MP3 I have only played 5 hands with. Of those 5, he's played 1 hand which didn't see showdown (folded). So complete unknown.

I call planning on c/r the turn on any safe card. I'd likely fold if an overcard falls and he bets, or if he 3 bets me.

When he checks I'm more convinced he's probably on a draw, or has a mid pp as his most likely holdings. CO is most likely betting since we all checked, and he has a small piece of the board. I put him on a weaker J or Tx. At this point his bet gives me more reason to c/r since I'd like to get MP3 to fold.

What do you like about this line, if anything? How else would you play it?

I'll post the remainder in a little while.

1. i like the line, i think the turn c/r gives you the best chance to protect against overcards and other drawing hands given the flop action.

2. the only alternative, i think, is to ck the flop hoping it gets to the button, who will autobet, and then you can c/r most of the field and give'em one less card to look at.

i think most of the time, though, i'm going with option number one at a loose table where people go too far w/ terrible hands.

Anyone else have any comments and critiques they'd like to offer up on this one? Thanks!
