What's your std plan in this kind of situations? I'm not sure if i have to bet for value/protection or if my hand is worthless .
I realise that i have no clue with mid strength/marginal hands oop in drawy boards.
Do you have any recommendations in regards of study material? Articles or videos....pokerstrategy content or not.
I watched a w34z3l video for general planning postflop, but it doesn't cover oop in drawy boards.

Sorry for my english and thanks in advance!

Hi William,

Preflop: looks fine

Postflop: in this spot the scenario is important. You have a fish (most likely) limp/calling you so his range is wider and weaker. Thus you have a value bet with marginal value hands oop like this one.

You also generally have at least 2 valuebets since draws and pair+draws will call you. Ck/calling is fine if villain floats a ton or you have some reads that will not make river a hell to play.

I'm assuming you had 0 reads?>
