Only read on villain is that he's the usual weak/tight 2$ NL variety. And yes, the donk bet on the flop is quite thin, and it puts me in a marginal spot. But how shall we play it?

===================================
abliter8 is at seat 0 with $2.29.
Hero is at seat 8 with $3.24.

Hero is dealt: :7s4: :7c4:

Pre-flop:

SHARKSMILES calls. debra2223 folds. RIDER G 24
folds. DONALD DILEO folds. Hero calls.
thegame469 folds. abliter8 calls. intelo folds.
Round in calls. nursangel checks.

Potsize = $0.10

Flop (board: :2s4: :5h4: :8s4:):

3 players check. Hero bets $.09. abliter8 calls. 3 players fold.

Potsize = $0.28

Turn (board: :2s4: :5h4: :8s4: :6h4:):

Hero....
===================================

What's our plan here? Fire a second barrel? Check and hope he checks through? Min bet?

I don't mind your lead on the flop, I'm prolly chking the turn though as I don't think he's gonna fold to turn bet with that card and were bloating the pot unecessarily imo. Just hope we get chk/chk on river.

Push all in.







More likely check, I agree with above. I play these limits too, and its hard to know where you are at a lot of the time. With a passive player on a draw filled board check and hope for a free card.

Turn (board: :2s4: :5h4: :8s4: :6h4:):

Hero checks. abliter8 bets $.10. Hero.....

Potodds on Call: 3.8:1

Plan for the rest? Can we make an argument for a c/r, since this bet looks hella weak? And how many river bets can we call?

I wouldn't be surprised to see something like A8 here, anyway I would just call and hope for a good river card, though he could have 34...

na, no point in check raising, since our raise will only be called by a hand that beats us, or we get re raised and end up bloating the pot with just 2nd pair. I just flat call here and re evaluate river

You think there is any way our hand is good here? What's he betting that we beat? By calling, we're already in that situation IMO. I think its worth turning our hand into a bluff for the following reason:

1) Our outs are hella dirty
2) We have no implied odds (there's no way we're getting paid if we hit our straight)
3) Our opponent, while weak, probably isn't betting with a pair of 6's.

So I don't really mind turning our hand into a bluff at all, especially since our villain has shown weakness. And just think of how strong our line looks. We lead the flop into like 5 players, and if we check raise the turn, its going to take a monster hand to call us down on this board. If we get called, then we can still hit some outs. But I wouldn't rely on those outs to make us any money when they hit. They're only there to bail us out when this bluff doesn't work.

youy checked the turn, villain could easily take that as weakness, meaning he is betting a huge range on the turn, a lot of which you beat. He could be betting a rag 6, a rag 5, under pairs, overs+flush draws, just overs. Basically a whole ton of hand you beat. At this point in time we can't really tell what kind of range villain is on. So i just flat call this and see what develops.

Our implied odds aren't that bad either, villain may not think we could have limped with a 7 in our hand so may call with 2pair/top pair type hands.

I don't like the idea of raising and bloating hte pot and turning our hand into a bluff when for all we know, our hand is already ahead. I flat then re evaluate, although i can see the reasoning behind raising, i just prefer flatting

Just to post the results, in case anyone cares, I check-raised to 41c, and villain folded.
