iPoker - $0.02 NL - Holdem - 9 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 3

BB: $2.00
UTG: $1.86
UTG+1: $1.98
Hero (MP): $2.05
MP+1: $0.97
LP: $2.01
CO: $2.95
BTN: $0.77
SB: $2.00

MP+1: only 6 hands info on him. He'd VPIP'ed 2 of them including this one. he "seemed" loose and had come to table with 54bb
His image of me, probably opaque as I hadnt played the previous six. the rest of the table would have seen me at around 12 VPiP, 7PFR, AF 3 at that point.

SB posts SB $0.01, BB posts BB $0.02

Pre Flop: ($0.03) Hero has 4:diamond: 4:spade:

fold, fold, Hero calls $0.02, MP+1 calls $0.02, fold, fold, fold, fold, BB checks

Flop: ($0.07, 3 players) 7:diamond: 4:heart: T:diamond:
BB checks, Hero bets $0.06, MP+1 calls $0.06, fold

Turn: ($0.19, 2 players) 8:heart:
Hero bets $0.15, MP+1 raises to $0.30, Hero calls $0.15

River: ($0.79, 2 players) 8:spade:
Hero checks, MP+1 bets All-in $0.59, Hero calls $0.59

Final pot: $1.84

Should I have pushed harder with the set? after his call on the flop I thought his raise on the turn was likely a sign of strength - a set of 8s or a straight maybe, hence my caution after that. If he had a set he would of course beat me when the board paired, whatever it was.. but with 10s I would expect more aggression earlier. 8s and 7s are conceivably limpable preflop so a straight seems most likely when the second 8 comes. When I checked the river I was fairly confident he'd put in a big bet, but in hindsight maybe doing that myself and giving him a chance to fold was better.

Hello CountBrass,

Against his stack you can easily just ship it right on turn. While he may easily even have pair+draw/pure draws/2pairs.

But as played ship yourself the river than Check it. He will Check behind a lot weaker hands which might be able to Call you.

Best regards.
