$10-$20 hand at the Borgata..

Good game. Very loose and the dynamic alternates between passive and aggressive.

I complete from the sb with 67 off after 5 players limp. The big blind has not raised often and I did not fear him raising. He checked and 7 of us saw a flop of

I bet and three players called. Who leads, who goes for a check raise? I bet hoping to get raised.

4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] hit the turn..5 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Should I bet or check and hope to go for a check raise?

hey mike, i'm just betting this hand the whole way. you have no idea where a bet will come from and if there even will be one

In a game that loose and passive, checking is pointless.

The turn card being such a brick I am more inclined to bet again. It would be tough to sell me that you bet a draw into six players on the flop in an unraised pot.

I am interested in this hand as I sometimes feel I play too straightforward...no pun intended.

Why?

Against 6 loose/passives betting on the come seems to be +EV

I like betting out both times.

My thought process was that you would want more customers with a draw and would be more likely to check and evaluate. Pedestrian?

Hey Mr. Gallo, I bet bet bet the whole way unless I know the guy to my left will bet for me. If your table is in a passive state I think you're better off just to bet it, since you don't know who will bet other wise. And you don't want it checked around because they're drawing.
