CO ($25.55)
Button ($109.40)

BB ($85.12)
UTG ($40.80)
Hero ($185.97)

Preflop: Hero is MP with 5

, 5

. SB posts a blind of $0.50.
1 fold, Hero calls $1, CO calls $1, 2 folds, BB checks.

Flop: ($3.50) 4

, 6

, 8

BB bets $2, Hero raises to $6, CO calls $6, BB folds.

Turn: ($17.50) 9

(2 players)
Hero checks, CO checks.

This is something I like to do occasionally. Players betting out of the blinds generally have extremely weak hands that can't stand much pressure, so you can often raise them with anything, as long as they're capable of folding a pair.

Fnord is an unknown quantity at this point

This is why I pot it out of the blinds, reguardless of what I'm betting.

Who likes a river bluff here? I find a fair amount of 6 max players will pretty much auto-bet when checked to twice.
