$0.25/$0.50 Limit Hold'em - 8 players

Pre Flop: (1.4 SB) Hero is SB with 5 :heart: 6 :spade:
2 folds, MP1 calls, 1 fold, CO calls, 1 fold, Hero calls, BB checks

Flop: (4 SB) 3 :diamond: A :diamond: 4 :heart: (4 players)
Hero checks, BB checks, MP1 checks, CO bets, Hero calls, BB calls, MP1 calls

Turn: (4 BB) K :heart: (4 players)
Hero checks, BB checks, MP1 checks, CO bets, Hero calls, BB folds, MP1 calls

River: (7 BB) 7 :diamond: (3 players)
Hero checks, MP1 checks, CO checks
Should I B here for value? I think the risk of flush is too big.

Final Pot: 7 BB
CO shows QsAc(a pair of Aces)
Hero shows 5h6s(a straight, Seven high)
MP1 mucks Tc2c
Hero wins 6.7 BB

Hi!

Pretty nice flop to go for semibluff bet. Getting 1:4+very nice equity with OESD you will make them fold often enough(or at least get some additional outs for 5,6) as they will not be able to continue a lot of suited connectors,Khigh,Qhigh hand or even some pockets will fold.

As played I like what epitaph says...donk/call you dont want them to check back(which they will do often) and also getting 3bet is not pleasent.
donk/call is a very safe line in such spots and you can hardly make a mistake with it(at least on these stakes)


u have to be more aggressive, get as much in pot as possible, don`t vory about them folding. If u do it regulary and also in marginal situations, they will start to call down you. If you will move up in limits, I think thats what you should generaly do
