post, get junk, flop middle pair, what next?

First hand at the table. It's been open for awhile so I've got stats on everyone, but no notes. MP3 is a weak tight rock, SB and BB are both slightly loose and passive.

Either raise or fold. I vote fold as the pot's small, and MP3 very likely has you beaten.

Hero folds his weak drawing 5 outer in a small pot.

Pots a bit to small for me.

The jack kicker isn't quite good enough either. I'd like to think I'd have the best hand on the flop to raise this, but it's marginal, the pot size seals the fold for me.

Pot is small, so you could easily fold. But if you're looking to play ...

Raise. Hopefully the other 3 who checked will fold to two bets.

If he does not reraise you on the flop, lead at the turn no matter what, he just might fold. If you encounter any resistance, you can consider folding of course.

[sin808]

why do you believe mp3 has me beaten? he open limped in mp3. what range of hands do you put him on to assume I'm behind here?

[UncleSalty]

I wuold raise to try and get HU w/ MP3. He's likely betting w/ overcards to try and steal the button. If you get 3-bet I would call and then check/fold the turn UI.

i raise the flop &amp; take it from there.

i'd fold because small pots are boring, but if you want to play definitely raise here, then turn a 7 and river a jack. poker is so easy.
