Villain is semi-loose passive.

Preflop: Hero is CO with 7, 8. SB posts a blind of $0.10.
5 folds, Hero raises to $1, Button calls $1, SB (poster) calls $0.90, 1 fold.

I raise up the SC's periodically to change gears.If I miss the flop and face aggression I can get out easily without regrets;if I flop a monster they're stacks are coming over to me.

Flop: ($3.25) 5, 4, 5 (3 players)
SB checks
