Hi trener,
in our forum we discuss one hand and 3 boys see the hand in 3 different ways. No info for villains. Preflop call must be ok. On the flop the opps seems weak. Nobody has not strong made hand (will go to bet strong on heavy draw board). So call or raise flop. Turn give us small 2nd flush draw. Call or raise? On the river all the draws are missed. Call, fold, bluffraise? Thanks in advance.

Typically at these stakes you get a bunch of players who wait until the river before starting to bet.

Point is, they are passive, but you can't bluff them. This means you should focus entirely on value betting.

Preflop is fine so long as you don't go crazy when you see a flush draw. Flop is also great, though you could put a small raise in on the button since it will likely get called by both opponents (getting money with 3 ways with a flush draw is +EV).

However calling is fine as well on the flop, but the turn raise I am not a huge fan of.

The question is not about EV here but saving money. Villain will likely pay you off if you hit, passive calling stations generally do and without a read that's what I think my opponents are like at this limit. So I am not going to bluff him, just wait to bink and hope he has something to call with.

As for the river, UTG probably has a garbage queen here, though to be fair I have also seen the min bet the nuts like this so I wouldn't plan on raising. On the river you're going to be good at least 3% of the time here so you have to call. Villain could just have clubs with nothing, it's not likely but you can't fold to that small bet.
