    Default $100nl; couple of line checks

    UTG makes no difference. Button has been quite tight over a small sample size. All in? Fold?

    ******* Hand 1 ********

    UTG: $11.40
    Hero: $120.55
    CO: $21.75
    Button: $118.95
    SB: $131.25
    BB: $113.40

    Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is UTG+1 with
    UTG raises to $2, Hero raises to $6, CO folds, Button calls, 2 folds, UTG calls.

    Flop: ($19.5, 3 players)
    UTG checks, Hero bets $15, Button raises to $55, UTG calls all-in $5.4, Hero ????


    Opp has been quite loose 48/15/2 over about 50 hands. I flopped the nuts and called the flop bet as I couldn't see him holding a set. Would you raise the river?

    hand 1 - I think this is a tossup. Button cold called your raise preflop, so this tells me his range is a lot of pocket pairs, 88+, and hands like AJ,AQ,AK.

    I can definitely see him pushing all sets on this board, as well as overpairs QQ,KK and maybe even AJ or 99.

    hand 2 - flat call, no point raising.

    1. Meh. The question is whether he raises like this with KK/QQ b/c I really doubt he does with an OESD. I could go either way here. I usually felt AA without a solid read, but if you're going to lay it down this isn't a bad spot to do it.

    2. I sometimes raise this flop but against a loose raiser I like the flat-call. I bet the turn closer to pot. And griffey's right, no reason to raise this river, he's not calling with 2 pair unless both he and your image are terrible.

    I'd fold and call because of reasons above
