MP2 is 50/9.5/1.39 over 40 hands.

SB and BB are both passive, though one is tighter than the other.

SB is 16.9/3.1/.70 over 100 hands
BB is 44.1/3.7/1.0 over 100 hands

Preflop: Hero is Button with 7:spade:, 9:spade:.
UTG calls, 1 fold, Hero calls, SB calls, BB calls, UTG calls, MP1 calls.

I'm not really concerned with the fact that I cold-called here. I have the button, I'm sooooted, and I think I need to work on my post-flop play.

Flop: (12 SB) T:spade:, 2:spade:, 4:heart: (6 players)
SB checks, BB checks, UTG checks, MP1 checks, MP2 bets, Hero calls, SB calls, BB calls, UTG folds, MP1 folds.

Must... not... raise...

Turn: (8 BB) 9:diamond: (4 players)
SB checks, BB checks, MP2 bets, Hero calls, SB calls, BB calls.

Maybe raise? I still think probably not.

River: (12 BB) 6:spade: (4 players)
SB checks, BB checks, MP2 bets, Hero... doesn't think about overcalls... ever.

Is this a good situation to go for overcalls? Passive opponents *could* be on better flush draws themselves.

If you just call, do you call a c/r from the blinds? Also, are you still a man if you cold-call preflop, and call on the flop, turn, and river? I say no... even though the easiest no-call is a fold preflop, I begrudgingly admit.

If you raise, what do you do if the blinds check/3-bets you?

Are we raising turn for

a) free showdown if UI
b) extra bets if we hit

+

c) gradually-getting-bigger pot in position?

I put MP on AT or an overpair most of the time... giving me 9 + 5 outs. Just 5 outs if he has overcard spades. Weighting that the way I should weigh it, does a turn raise have value?

I raise the turn too.

Pot's getting big, and we may get a free sd. Also, if we have the best hand, it's vulnerable.

Raising the turn makes the river play much easier.

If we raise the turn, and hit the flush, and get checked to...

Do we bet/call the river? I'm thinking yes...
