Quite a boring hand.
However I run into these spots a lot. I often call down those tiny bets all the way to SD.
Here I folded OTR because those are usually not bluffs but thin value bets of weak hands with SD value like T9, A6, and so on.
Any thoughts on how to play this better (and how to not burn so much money in these spots)?
On the flop and turn I could never fold because of the pot odds.
Raising OTF (with 2pair/trips, BD flush and runner runner straight outs) is an option and that's about it, isn't it?
But I don't like raising the flop because that bloats the pot and I do have SD value, so I think it is better to try to get to the river cheap with the opportunity to improve.

If you don't want to burn money in these kind of spots you can better fold right away:f_wink:
Anyway post-flop you can't do much else in a multi way pot. Feels nitty to fold middle pair against 2bb pets in a decent pot, but you get decent odds to improve to 2 pair or better.

With those odds it's really tough to fold turn with in mind if you hit 2 pair or trips you have most likely the best hand for only 2bb more in a pot of 21bb if you call. You need only 9,5% equity make a call profitable :f_ugly:
