broken hearts on the river, could he be turning a hand like 65 into a bluff ? He could have 54 rivered two pair, slowplayed sets, are we ever good here 1 out of 3 or should we use population tendancies that they don't bluff river often enough, I'm not beating any value hands, also what do you think about flop should we c-bet on the King high? I decided not to because if we get called we arn't loving it are we

I call pre. Suited connectors are better multi way.

As played, I would c-bet bigger to rep a bigger hand that went with my pre flop play, and barrel, hoping for a fold, or check fold from flop onwards. Purely on feel at the time, against an unknown.

You should play limp. You are on a catchy table. So one way to take advantage of our opening range is to adapt to this style. You don't have enough preflop strength to go too high. Fold or limp with 78s and various active limper positions.
On the flop as played, you cannot allow a small bet to lead your preflop raise range. This could turn into an overbet on the flop and then jam on the turn, according on the sequence played.
You must represent TPTK / AA here and then blocking the flop / turn. Otherwise we shouldn't raise the preflop like that. And always play with full stack.
Greetings.

Suited connectors (particularly 8 high) play better in a multiway pot where your implied odds are better.

Preflop
With so many limpers isolating with a suited connector is somewhat optimistic. Limping behind would be an acceptable option or even just folding.

Flop
You managed to get it heads up, and I think, its very close between just calling his silly 2c bet or raising it up and putting in a real bet. Your hand is kind of showdown value but it also benefits a lot from protection.

Turn
Totally on board with betting now. I dont think, he has top pair very often, when he takes such a passive line like this. So you are likely ahead and betting for value against a fish with a very wide range.

River
He probably got there on some weird gutshot draw or two pair with a hand, he should not have. Fish love to play a lot of junk, and they love to do this almost pot sized betting, when its time to get paid. Just fold and dont pay him off.

Hello, I agree with some guys that hand 87s from the button position is good to call to limps pre flop or only call when somebody raise pre flop. I play all suited connectors like 87s, 96s, 84s to hit mainly flush draw or some combodraws from late positions. As played - on the flop this very small bet from the opponent for one 1bb on micro limit sometimes means that opponent can have something strong or that he is weak player. On the river I think you should fold. It seems that opponent did slow play with something strong. My experiences from the micro limit learnt me that usually weak player don't play bet on the river for about pot size and with second pair on that board better fold. GL.

Hello Casey55, thank you very much for sharing it. Well mate, I have no idea how to help with this one hand, because I really don't know how to play another Cash Strategy that isn't the MSS (Middle Stack Strategy).
Besides, I don't see any reason at all, trying being fancy at the micros. Good Luck always!

Carlos I don't understand, how am I being fancy? Few limped before me I attacked the limps with playable hand. 87s could have been limped behind but I thought I could attack the dead money and see a flop in position.
