25NL: bottom pair on a paired flop

[couriermike]

Preflop, usually it's better to iso-raise a normal amount rather than over-limp or minraise just because you're getting re-popped behind alot and will have to fold. So I don't like preflop. You could over-limp at a passive table, but iso-raising 8-high against a loose player is not good, you're actually behind his range with very little fold equity. For all those reasons, I'd fold this preflop.

OTF, I think you should fold to his min-raise. There's really no worse hands for him to have.

As played on the turn and river, I'd probably call down with the baby full house because he might think 99-JJ is the nuts here.

Preflop, I'd give him a healthy range of pairs, aces, broadway, most suited face cards, connectors, sc's, s1g's and s2g's.

OTF and for the rest of the hand, I'd put his range at any hand he had preflop that is 8x, Kx, or 88+. You're 12% against that range.

On the turn and river, you're about 45%. So calling is OK. But really you should have folded preflop and on the flop.

You may be getting raised some of the time by a reg who'll iso limpers with an over-limp, but less so with a minraise so I would seriously question your use of "alot".

I'd prob just fold PF tbh.
