    Default $100NL, hands against loose/passive players

    Hand 1:

    -villain is 30/15/2.41
    -villain's lead on river seemed weak, so I thought a raise could push him off and low spade or hand without a spade. Is this spew?

    stats over not that many hands, about 100-150 hands but:
    -CO is 37/7/1.9
    -BN is 40/10/1.85
    -how is this line?
    -Should I just call PF given CO's reasonably small raising range?
    -keep firing at BN given how loose he is?

    I'd just call the river in #1, I doubt you push a loose passive off a flush enough compared to the times your hand is good anyway. I'd also bet 10-12 on the flop.

    #2- looks ok. I bet the flop more again. raising the turn is bad imo. I think you will see KcX, JXc, or a bluff enough of the time there kinda based on his huge turn bet, but it's close since he's passive.

    #3- looks good. sucks if btn hit gin on the flop or slowplayed pre, but can't really worry about that. I prefer reraising pre flop to (hopefully) get hu and protect your hand, and get value vs btn. if co had like 2% pfr I'd rather call, but think 7 is wide enough to reraise.
