    Default Bottom two hand

    What's the best line here? I am fairly certain I am ahead on the flop. I wanted to win pot there or on the turn. My normal c-bet had been 2/3 pot or pot, so I didn't want to overbet the pot and get looked up with a vulnerable hand. I was a little more worried on the turn, but I didn't want to give up initiative. Then I can't check the river and open myself up to his stealing the pot, can I? What does it look like I am repping? Looking back I probably should have made it $1.50 on flop. Check raising turn better?

    Any help appreciated....villain was 39/4, but only over about 30 hands at that point.

    Yeah, I usually pot the flop bet so I can build bigger pots in spots like this when I want to.

    What range do you put UTG+1 on?

    I thought Q9-QJ, 77-99, or 2 clubs. QK and AQ raise PF I would think.

    Maybe I consider too much how I would play PF instead of how opp would play PF.....

    Broadways on the turn + river weren't good for you. However, he figures to be so loose that he'll often still have just a pair there.
