TURN ($4)
[9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]]

RIVER ($8)
[8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]]
Villain: bets $4
Hero: raises to $20
Villain: raises to $80.42 and is all-in
Hero: ???

I know - fold pre-flop.
But I am playing at a new site, this table is very loose, and there is a better than 70% chance everyone limps. On other sites, I am VPIP 20%. Here I am VPIP 34% and making good profits - so I thought I could see what happens.

If I choose to play PF, I'm coming in for a raise. The reason is not becasue I'm trying to steal -- UTG won't fold, so I have a FE of zero. The reason is becasue if any face card comes on the flop, I can make a decent bet -- say, half to 3/4 pot -- and usually take the pot then and there. By just limping in PF, you have represented a hand that doesn't include strongly-kickered high cards. That is, you clearly don't have AK. I like raising PF instead of limping here becasue of the position it leaves me in strategically on the flop.

Good point - I just figured I'd get a cheap look at the flop and bail if it wasn't good. I've been doing so well, I really wasn't even thinking about setting up plays. If I flop halfway decent, I'll usually win - and when I connect well, I know I'll get paid.
This time, I just kind of wandered into a tough situation. No PFR - but these guys have played AA, AKs, TT, AT and JJ without raising PF - it is very hard to put them on a hand.

Should I think my straight is good here?

If you're going to play QJo, raise it preflop (you can play position afer the flop) or fold. Your raise on the river committed you, so I think you have to call. With a paired board, I would've called the first bet on the river. But I'm a little weak-tight.

I like a potsized bet on the turn.

you don't have any fold equity with 2 dollars.

reads on villain? if he's solid, this is a pretty clear fold...

T9 seems likely, possibly AT.

with no reads, i don't raise that river.

as played, as short as you are, you have to call his push.
