Standard?

50NL at UB. 10max table.

I buy in with $25, am currently sitting on $30.
BB has $12 and is a loose nit (which is why he only has $12)
Button has $40 or so. Don't have too many reads, but I know he will continue in a pot with marginal hands and TPTK

Late position, I get dealt :Qs: :Ts:. Pot has not been raised so i make it 3xbb to go. Get calls from button, BB and 2 other limpers.

Flop comes :Js: :9s: :7d:
BB raises $1.5 or so. 2 folds. I raise to $4. Button cold calls, BB pushes. I call knowing button will call. Button calls.

Turn is blank. Pot is ~$38, i have about $17 left.

I push....

standard? Are all my outs live?
what about if we assume my Q is also live as an out?
What do my opps have?
+EV?

thanks

You should give all preflop action because it's very confusing.

First off you are only 60bb deep which makes hands like QTs (insert random suited/connected garbage, small pairs, etc) drop in value big-time. Here's a situation where it's probably better to just limp into the pot. And regardless of what you are holding, a 3x raise with multiple limpers already in the pot is just way too small.

BB BETS $1.50, you should make a substantial raise here to much more then $4 and try to get it allin on this flop. When the action gets back around to you, put the rest in.

My standard raise is 3-4xBB on a passive table even with limpers. This lets me control the pot size and costs my cont. bets less; that being said I usually play 6max where I can get away with stealing pots a lot more and where I often raise any suited connector etc to get my image going...

Why are you buying in short?

Phase I'm going through. For some reason I seem to be getting more action buying in short and giving myself a shit image than buying in full and giving myself a shit image. I usually get $5-10 worth of steals before people stop giving me respect; been leaving with 3-4x my buyin quite often recently.

It probably wont last (this phase), just still experimenting with the lag/mega-aggro ala rippy style for a bit while I bonus whore...

Is there anything wrong with calling and trying to extract value on the turn if you think you can get the BB to call?

Against 2 random holdings I am 60% to win. BB had TJo and button had AJo, so my Qs are also live cards; I've got like 20 outs here...

Why push the turn?

with a short stack, i wouldn't bet the flop.

i would try to have it checked through, and if someone bets i would then go allin

Cos my bet wasnt even 1/2 the pot at this stage. One of my many outs hit on the river so I took away a nice pot :)
