How to get the most out of him?

gerry87

.25/.50 me and the other guy have £30.

I'm in the sb with some thing like 47o. About 4 limpers, i complete and the flop comes 568, 2 hearts.

I check, BB checks, and 1st limper raises to 1.50. Whats my plan for the hand to get the most out of him? Do i want to flat call and try to let him inprove a bit or just get more agro. Or do i want to stem it here incase another heart falls.

I would definitely bet the flop. Since you didn't, raise it now. Make it $7 or something. Probably you won't get paid but you won't win a big pot if you call now and check the turn.

As RT says bet 7 or 8.

Very posible that someone will be drawing to both a flush & straight.
You need to make sure that if someone calls your bet they are making a mistake.

Dont slowplay a straight ... especially dont slowplay the bottom end of a straight.

I might slow play if I didn't see those 2 hearts , another one comes and you don't know where you are.... you could be easily bluffer off the hand...

time for a big bet, don't give him a cheap card....

I dont like check raising as it reveals the strength of your hand

you should lead pot on flop and push any non heart turn

at this point the damage is done re-raise 7 and push turn

the pot will be about $5 and they both will have $25 left on the turn, do you mean to make such a big overbet?

Bandana boy

Yes
There is nothing at this level like a push to induce a call it screams FD/open ended ie I am trying to buy the pot

is the villain likely to call with a draw? How about a pair and st8 draw? If so I like it

gerry87

I'm used to playing even lower limits, and at those an all-in seems to usually get a call. So i just pushed straight away, he folded and typed "?" in the chat box, i felt silly.

This hand is funny but if he had top pair+ he would probably have called you. Tell him you had a straight draw and move on.
