Tough decision...these are the types of hands i typically lose all my money on.I like the isolation play preflop...tough to think a guy will flat call $6 from the small blind but that's .10/.25 for ya...this leads me to believe that he will pay you off on almost any flop bet.My strategy lately has been to tighten up after being called preflop like that...if he has 88 99 or 1010-which are his most likely hands-it will take an all in bet to get him off it. This strategy comes from too many times just moving in in the OP's spot and being called by KJ/1010/flush draw/etc, left wondering "How could he not put me on aces?"I usually check-call from here on out to get cheap showdown..maybe not the best play tho

I like the RR preflop.I think you bet 3/4 of the pot here on the flop and slow down if you get called.
I agree. I have had alot of succes reraising to isolate small stakes with middle pocket pairs at these stakes.You have to bet the flop. The call is scary. I try to show it down cheap though. I would say there is a 50-50 chance you are good.

i'll add the next line, and you people tell me if it's good/bad and how to proceed from therePupsta bets $10Villain calls $10Turn KdVillain checks.
I'd probably check behind, though I know it is often a mistake to do so. If you were beat, you're still beat, but he might CR. He might have a flush draw, but it's hard to tell. Smells more like some sort of king to me. I'd probably take one off and try to fill up.

I agree, but only in part. At these limits, it's not uncommon for players to call off a third of their remaining stack with a flush draw (post flop play). I don't know if i like the idea of checking behind. if another scare card comes out, you'll probably have to check. Also, if you check, he's probably going to bet out on the river regardless of what he has.You've already called this guy a typical bad $25 NL player...well, that's really really bad. So that introduces a huge range of hands that you'd have to beat. I'd be really interested to know how this hand turned out. I'd be surprised if he had the king though.Edit: Also, "take one off and try to fill up"?? So you're playing this hand looking to hit your two-outer on the river? You might as well just fold if that's how you're playing it.
