Default 72s makes a good hand, when do you slow down?

CO is 75/25 with agg of 1, overvalues some hands, but can *sometimes* slow down

Other villians are generally average 2/4'ers.

What do you think of the flop call/raise and turn c/r?

Preflop: Hero is BB with 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, CO calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, SB completes, Hero checks.

Slow down on the flop by folding to two bets.

Why didn't you raise back on the river?

I thought UTG would fold and I would split the pot so I wanted more bets in there

Yes, I realize that. How does calling, then 3-betting help? You can hope for a split pot against 76, but my experience at 2/4 says a lot of people will stay in this hand with 87 suited, looking for a backdoor flush/gutshot straight. Of course some idiot could have A2 and doesn't know how to stop.

what you said doesn't make sense, you didn't raise him back because you wanted more bets in there?

With all due respect, that is WAY weak tight. The 6 will be good a VAST majority of the time, and the A will be an awful good a lot too. I might not raise the flop, but I sure as heck am NOT folding, that's psycho!

The raise on the flop is OK. 72 should be winning 20% of the time.
