    Default marginal spot with BB special (50NL)

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (5 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    MP ($74.50)
    Button ($49.25)
    SB ($33.95)
    Hero ($64.20)
    UTG ($49.05)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with 3, 4. UTG posts a blind of $0.75.
    UTG (poster) checks, MP calls $0.50, Button calls $0.50, SB completes, Hero checks.

    Flop: ($2.75) 3, 7, 3 (5 players)
    SB checks, Hero checks, UTG bets $1.5, MP raises to $3, Button calls $3, SB folds, Hero?

    Just checking up on this because I've been playing donkaments instead of cash games for awhile. I didn't have PT open while I played this but my reads were, MP is kind of nitty pre-flop but kind of bad post-flop and seems to not understand the concept of pot control. I don't think he'd limp with any hand with a three in, and I don't think he'd raise with 77, so basically I'm sure I have him beat. Button is horrible. He could very easily have me out-kicked but he probably wouldn't fold any pair on this flop.

    Given my reads calling and seeing what they did on the turn seemed best but I'm just making sure.

    Yeah I wouldn't raise out all the hands you beat, so that leaves calling...

    i like to lead and be the post flop agressor because your hand is transparent when your calling then turning it into agression where as your hand is much more blurred if you lead out and get called by worse

    trying to live
    call, if you turn quads i would bet out though

    also with this many people seeing flop i would rather just lead flop

    As played meh, I'd doubt you're behind
    when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?
