SB: $31 VPIP: 27/22 3B: 6 100 hands
BB: $45 27/18 40 11
HERO: $25 19/14 6
MP: $35 20/15 5 306
CO: $53 18/16 6 340
BTN: $25 30/11 6 40

PF:
Hero dealt 5 :diamond:5 :spade:
Hero limps, fold, CO raises to $1, BTN calls, fold, fold and Hero calls

Flop: ($3.35)
4 :club:3 :heart:5 :heart:
Hero bets $1.25, CO raises to $2.50, BTN calls, Hero raises to $10, CO folds, BTN shoves $24 all-in...

Here are my thoughts...

I limp with 55 to pot control and set hunt cheaply
I call the raise as there are two players with equal or larger stacks
I lead the flop to entice a raise and take down the pot on the flop or get all in
When BTN 4Bets, I have 35-36% equity against the nut straight(s), plus it could be Ah6h or 66 or set over set...so I call...

Were my thoughts accurate/profitable??

Cheers,
TC

I like to bet bigger on the flop, cant say much about pre.
After our size we got raised, easy stack off with nut set. When button calls raise on such board I dont think he had anything fantastic

Hi there!

Pre flop I think it's a big mistake to open limp at these stakes. Just open raise any hand that you want to enter the hand.

Once you raise to 10$ and you get shoved you cannot fold since you have 26% pot odds and even against a range full of straights and 66 you have enough equity to call.

I would say 12% is good enough for 25NL, so 55+, A9s+, KTs+, QTs+, JTs, T9s, AJo+, KQo.

You be looser and play 15%: 44+, A2s+, KTs+, QTs+, JTs, T9s, 98s, ATo+, KQo
