Hi Gerv,

how to act on the flop? I think that mostly the 11/6 guy will have overcards. The fishy player may have all sorts of stuff here and I´m not sure how he would play any of those. Is it worth to Cbet and what to do if I face a re raise? Is it worth to pull it all in?

PokerStars - $0.05 NL - Holdem - 7 players

Hero (CO): $2.00
BTN: $5.06 45/41 after 22 hands
SB: $5.33 11/6 after 386 hands
BB: $8.67
UTG: $4.53
UTG+1: $4.19
MP: $6.67

SB posts SB $0.02, BB posts BB $0.05

Pre Flop: (pot: $0.07) Hero has 8♥ 8♠

fold, fold, MP calls $0.05, Hero raises to $0.25, BTN calls $0.25, SB calls $0.23, fold, fold

Flop: ($0.85, 3 players) 5♥ 2♥ 5♦
SB checks, Hero checks, BTN bets $0.30, SB calls $0.30, fold

Turn: ($1.45, 2 players) 7♠
SB checks, BTN bets $0.45, SB calls $0.45

River: ($2.35, 2 players) 5♠
SB checks, BTN bets $1.00, fold

BTN wins $2.25

Hey,

I would valuebet the Flop because I want to protect my hands against draws. now when you check/call, you actually have to call again on this Turn because he underbets it, a regular bet would make me fold

If you cBet & get raised, it is an easy fold because neither of them will be bluffing >5% of the time ;)

Hey man, I would definitely c-bet here. You get a lot more info from betting.
It's unlikely either of them will have a 5, and a bigger pp would've raised pre. I would probably shove to a raise too.
