Table is pretty loose passive.

Pretty well just an odds based question up to the river. We're good to call down here?

On the river, I don't think there's anything I can do but lead, right? I've got no reads that he'll bet this river if checked to.

I like it.

A c/r on the river I think is good, but like you said, if you're not sure if he'll bet on the river than I think betting it is best.

Btw, I'm not sure about pf.

I don't remember limping. I like, "came to" calling the raise after the limp, lol.

I always raise this preflop.
No reason to limp over a poster when we are almost always ahead of him.
Isolate and destroy.

I lead the flop.
When you check-call, your only hope of winning the hand is to improve again by hitting one of your 5 outs.
But you are in a position in which you can encourage the PFR to thin the field by facing everyone with 2 cold.
Villain will often raise with his overs to clean up his outs.
So work "together" to implement this plan.
And then you have a significantly better chance of winning this pot.
And with 10 bets already in the pot, it's one worth winning.



With a whopping 5 players on the flop, we really can't count on Villain pushing for the 4th time.
Bet out, and be happy with the loose calls we get.

I raise pf to isolate.

As played I bet the flop. Button may raise and clear out the field for us in this pretty big pot.

Like I said about PF, I think I blacked out and limped. Looking at the HH, I raise posters 100% of the time, with even worse...lol

What if villain 3 bets the flop? Call down with this board or release?

I don't believe Villain has the opoprtunity to 3bet the flop in any of the suggested lines.

If heads up with the PFR, I do lead the turn again after he raises the flop.
