    Preflop: Hero is MP with 6, 4. SB posts a blind of $1.

    Your place or my place
    Disclaimer: I suck

    A) Fold preflop
    B) Draw heavy board. Don't want a turn. Reraise hefty, maybe $75? But I think I could let it go if he pushes. Then again his push would only be a 2xish raise on top... I think you might have been stuck going in there anyway.

    Downswinging holla!
    Very player dependant, if he was passive I'd rather not play for stacks here, but if you think he overvalues top pair / overpairs or could have a flush draw I like a turn c/r ai. You could also lead the turn for $60 and fold to a raise.

    I like the preflop raise.

    Flop you pop him to $64 after you get reraised. You're ahead here most of the time. Try to get your chips in on this flop instead of seeing more cards.

    When ever i see this at 25nl it is almost always i got flush draw move, bet into a dry board cause your not calling with just a pair or if he is observent and ur tight he may knock you off ur over pair.
