CO: $25.69 (VPIP: 50.43, PFR: 21.74, 3Bet Preflop: 6.52, Hands: 121)
Hero (BTN): $11.01
SB: $37.57 (VPIP: 21.65, PFR: 15.94, 3Bet Preflop: 3.98, Hands: 520)
BB: $12.46 (VPIP: 60.78, PFR: 39.22, 3Bet Preflop: 11.76, Hands: 55)
UTG: $9.64 (VPIP: 20.50, PFR: 15.53, 3Bet Preflop: 6.90, Hands: 164)
MP: $10.00 (VPIP: 18.94, PFR: 14.93, 3Bet Preflop: 7.01, Hands: 485)

SB posts SB $0.10, BB posts BB $0.25, CO posts penalty blind $0.10, CO posts penalty blind $0.25

Pre Flop: (pot: $0.70) Hero has 8 :heart: J :heart:
fold, fold, CO checks, Hero calls $0.25, SB raises to $1.50, BB calls $1.25, CO calls $1.25, Hero calls $1.25

Flop : ($6.10, 4 players) 7 :heart: T :diamond: 2 :spade:
SB bets $2.00, BB calls $2.00, fold, Hero calls $2.00

Is a flop call here justifiable?? I figure four 9s give me the nuts, 8 hearts improve my hand and 3 Js give me top pair...the latter also complete a OESD though...

Also...I guess while we're here...the PF should be a raise?? Is the call a little loose??

Cheers,
TC

Hey TeamCupcake,

Seeing as there are posters in the hand + we have the BTN with decent speculative hand it makes sense just to raise it up here preflop perhaps even take down the pot.

After SB iso and 2-callers we are getting pretty nice odds + we have position.

Pretty decent odds on flop also with gutshot + bdfd definitely should continue with the hand here.
