Simple 1/2 Checkup Hand.

[MrNiceGuy 0]

Due to some bankroll issues, I'm playing some 1/2.I guess this is a checkup hand. All 3 opponents are loose with their calls. BB likes to take stabs at pots with weak hands.Party Poker 1/2 Hold'em (6 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cxPreflop: Hero is SB with [Ad], [Js]. 2 folds, CO calls, Button calls, Hero completes, BB checks.Flop: (4 SB) [Tc], [Ac], [7c] (4 players)Hero checks, BB checks, CO checks, Button bets, Hero calls, BB calls, CO folds.Turn: (3.50 BB) [4d] (3 players)Hero checks, BB checks, Button bets, Hero raises, BB calls, Button calls.River: (9.50 BB) [2h] (3 players)Hero bets, BB calls, Button calls.Final Pot: 12.50 BBLook ok? Or should I just lead the flop? Plan was to fold at any point if I got played back at.

Leading the flop will allow anyone to call correctly with any flush draw. I like your decision to keep the pot small and wait for a safe turn card. C/ring the flop will give the field bad odds to call, but not near as bad as they'd get on the turn in this situation. We pound a much bigger equity edge on the turn when a 9 out draw only has one more card to come.If BB bets the flop, though, then you should probably lead the turn. Since the Button bet, I like the c/r on the turn.

I would probably raise PF, but im not sure how correct that would be, since we are OOP.Since you didn't, I like a flop lead.Since you didn't, and button bet, perfect time for a c/r IMO.

I hate raising this hand from the SB, as well as KQo and a few other hands, simply because without position these hands just don't fair too well.I think this is a pretty standard complete from the SB.

I agree, I only raise AK/AQo in that spot.Other than that, I like the way you played it. I don't think leading the flop is a good idea, because there is a good chance you will get raised. C/r the turn is better because your opponents make a bigger mistake by cold calling the turn.I think I've seen you post 5/10 hands before...lol I probably should'nt be telling you what to do.

I was posting 5/10, now I'm posting 1/2, and you don't think that's a sign I could use some help?

Nobody raised PF, so we have no idea if anyone is going to bet this flop. And if it does get bet, we dont know who is going to bet it. It worked out perfect with the button betting, I really dont understand not raising on the flop here. Please explain.

AJ os is usually the best hand here. I believe it is correct to raise here for value and to try and knock the bb out, since AJ works best with fewer opponents. Other than that, nh. The c/r on the turn is a nice way to play it.
