-200bb checkup hand #4

[Canada 0]

I'm currently in a monster downswing of over 200BB and thought I better get some help finding any leaks. All my PT stats are hitting the sweet spot (using Ishmaels 2+2 figures) and my starting hands do indicate I'm getting cold carded (at least 1/3 down on being dealt AA, AK, KK, QQ and JJ for the last 11k hands, but 50% up on 22 ) Thought I'd should still post a few hands and ask for your opinions... Sorry, no reads. Party Poker 5/10 Hold'em (8 handed) converterPreflop: Hero is MP1 with [7d], [7c]. UTG calls, 1 fold, UTG calls.Flop: (5.40 SB) [Jh], [8c], [8h] (2 players)UTG bets, UTG calls.Turn: (4.70 BB) [Js] (2 players)UTG bets, Hero folds.Final Pot: 5.70 BBRaise a limper with pocket 7's to isolate. OK?Raise his flop bet to kill semi bluffs OK?Fold when he bets the second J OK?

yes raise a limper to isolate, good play. No, i don't like raising the flop to take away the semi-bluff. If he's bluffing, you're only gonna make him stop. If he wants to keep bluffing, let him keep bluffing. On the turn, you now have 2 pair 8's and J's, with a 7 kicker. Fold.

The flop is a raise or fold situation.No reads = fold.

looks good to me, as long as you never seriously considered going past that turn, of course 8)

The flop is a raise or fold situation.

Why raise or fold? If he's bluffing, don't we want him to keep bluffing? If we're ahead, isn't he just going to either fold right there or fold the turn?

Our hand is vulnerable to 9s or T-A, so not strong enough to call with. Better to win the hand now or find out that we're behind than call down.

raise or fold because it's not a wa/wb situation. we need to either charge QT or fold to QJ.
