Hi, yesterday I played a €1/€3 live cash game and I need some help trying to figure out what I could've done better.
Hero: CO+1 (40bb)
Villain: BU (300bb)
Hero holds 7:heart: 8:heart:
fold, fold, fold, fold, Hero raises to 3bb , fold, Villain calls 3bb, SB calls 2.5bb, fold
Flop: 3 Players (10bb)
7:spade: 2:diamond: 6:club:
SB checks, Hero bets 6bb, Villain calls, fold
Turn: 2 players (22bb)
4:spade:
Hero checks, Villain checks
River: 2 players (22bb)
J:spade:
Hero checks, Villain bets 20bb, Hero folds
Thoughts? I felt like I should've raised the turn to defend the hand I had, but I was afraid he'd be calling with higher pocket pairs or with a straight. He's a pretty lose player and he's quite unpredictable, I've played with him a few times and it's hard to read his hands. I was somewhat handicapped too, playing with a short stack and all (lost a big pot earlier) so maybe playing suited connectors wasn't a good idea to begin with.
