 I feel every street on this hand is an interesting decision.

My thought process is in italics, if poss I'd like just as many comments on that as I would the hand because I feel it's extremely important to my growth as a playah.

50NL 6max, $85 effective stacks.

It's folded round to the decent but slightly stupid TAG in MP who limps, and I limp on the button with :Ts: .

SB folds, BB checks.

Flop is , BB checks and MP bets exactly the pot, which is a bit strange, this player usually bets 2/3-4/5. I decide to just call, as I feel a raise would bloat the pot and fold out most worse hands.

BB folds.

Turn is :Td:, and my opponent bets exactly the pot again.. it seems they want to get their money in fast but don't think I'm strong enough for them to try a c/r. I'm tempted to raise, but the exact PSB has me a bit freaked, plus I may have sick implied odds.

River is :Th:, and my opponent bets 4/5 pot. I think about making a small-medium raise, but I felt that the strange nature of MP's bets and the fact that my opponent's range for calling a smallish raise isn't significantly larger than my opponent's range for calling a push.

I shove for about 2.5x the pot.


Comments on all streets and (especially) comments on my thought process much appreciated.

interesting. here's what i think of each street:

pf - I like raising a lot more, position + aggression + weak limper...

flop - i'd just fold, since I doubt you have implied odds and maybe reverse odds. you're draw is pretty weak, and raising seems kinda pointless for the reasons you wrote and that it's unlikely he'll fold.

turn- good logic I think. only point i see in raising is to stop a river bluff from AsX but ya implied odds...

river- nice. i might raise small if he thinks i might slowplay a set/2pr but agree with ur logic too.

 why do we limp pre?
opp has a flush here maybe 90% of the time so i like ur shove because there's no way he's less inclinded to fold if he thinks u runner runnered a boat.

raise pre but i think you already got that
as played fold the flop because his PSB could mean so much stuff (flush, 2pr, set, naked As, tpgk etc)
turn i like, maybe raise a smaller bet but raising a PSB could be suicide.
river good push
