Preflop: is it ok just to complete here and get into a multiway pot with good implieds? I didn't want to raise preflop because I don't think I have much fold equity against their stats, and I don't want to end up in a raised multiway pot out of position with a marginal hand.
Flop: I am check/folding obviously
Turn: miraculously I now have OESD + FD. Is it ok to play this aggressively, or would it have been better just to check and hope to see another free card?
River: I think my bet sizing was ok, but let me know if you have any better ideas.

Thanks..

Hello member001,

Preflop: Yeah, definitely. In specific spots I do sometimes even raise it up but while they are that loose and we are OOP then basically just completing is totally fine.
Flop: Not much to add while we do have only backdoors, rather just check and hope to see a free card.
Turn: Definitely fine to bet while they didn't even show any interest in the pot, I'd bet it as well.
River: Could even bet it near pot here, although your bet size is fine. :) While they are that loose you can consider doing it even bigger, sometimes even overbetting if against very loose opponent.

Best regards.
