    Im opedipus bitch, the original balla.
    Hard to fold preflop considering he is bb in a limped pot.

    Anyways, I generally play this type of hand very passively and just c/f the flop in a multiway pot there with bottom pair. However, I don't hate making a stab there for 2/3 pot. However, if called on the flop I'm in c/f mode for the turn and the river unimproved.

    His turn bet is giving you what 4.5:1 odds? I honestly don't know if you call getting odds that good here to see if you make something better on the river or not, but I definately wouldn't raise that turn. Only hands I see played this way is 44,99,K9 all of which have you beat (lean more towards 44 here).

    oh lol, didn't notice that he was in BB in limped pot... I might actually make a squeeze play in this case, and fire one bullet on flop if someone calls

    anyways once that flop comes I check/fold, no use in staying in there with bottom pair

    himself fucker.
    Just fold. Default to the line that gives you the fewest stomach ulcers. And that's folding.

    I understand the first bet considering you got a part of the flop, you kinda raised for information and with some luck the guy could've folded. But he called, and fired a bet into you in the turn, i would've folded right there considering you had bottom pair and few outs.
