P: fold, we don't want to flat (even from BB) with possibility of being multi-way and OOP. There's a good chance CO limp/calls IP in nl2.

A good rule of thumb is the more players that could see the flop, the more we should fold preflop vs raises.

F: bad flop, this is why we fold preflop. We hit, but we have many difficult decisions multi-way now.

As played, don't donk, just check/call vs a reasonable bet and hope we can make it to showdown cheaply. Being aggressive is over-playing our hand.

T: as played, easy check/evaluate. We're OOP and villain has something after calling flop.

R: horrible card. As played, easy check/evaluate.

As played (bet), easy bet/fold vs jam. Usually a passive bad player like CO isn't bluffing this way.

I probably would check/call small bets and fold big ones. River is the certainty of doom. Unless you had some very good read on the Villain

preflop - marginal call, SB isolating limper, so we have good chances if limer will call too
flop bet 3/4 pot to defend against draws
turn the same
river fold - straight is closed

Been falling for so many rivers like these. I try to slow play and end up risking too much on the river.

Gatta study waaay more.

Thanks everyone.
