Fish don't raise with draws. I'd fold pre-flop. Postflop looks nice.

Do you normally play this in MP2? I tend to muck it. I'll play it on the button if there are mucho limpers.

Should I be playing these hands more?

The table was VERY passive so far. I assume this is a good play, no?

[spoohunter]

I dislike the flop raise, even though it probably saved you the pot. I want lots of people in, since I can't win the pot without a pat hand (excepting running trips). I understand you have great equity, but I don't want the field to face two.

No. It is too loose and you are losing money on it.

If hero had the nut flush, or maybe the 2nd nut, I'd agree with you. Then if I knew the table tended not to like to call two, I would not have raised as there is no one trapped for one bet yet.

But with only 6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] high, I think knocking one [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] holders out is paramount. For that reason, I think the flop raise is very important here, and it's a big advantage to be able to make the field face two.

Nope, you didn't play it as a fish, but I would have folded this pre-flop. Where you were on the flop, you made the rest of the field call two cold, which I wouldn't have done. Had there been some callers between the bettor and you, a raise would be fine though, trapping some extra bets.

Turn was good. River card sucks for you, but you have to call.
