Can I get comments on every street. Not sure if I played this one right both other guys are loose preflop.

I would raise more pf, 5-6bb, at a loose table with one limper, and then either call for pot odds or raise more substantially on the flop, like you have an overpair- $2.5 or $3.

With a < 1/2 pot flop raise, he calls any draw or hand he connected. And if he's a bigtime caller and calls any sort of raise on the flop, why bet the Q turn? Many times when a call station min bets a flop after calling a raise pre flop, it's because they're trying to draw cheaper or "want info." sometimes it's because they hit big. so they fold to a substantial raise or call with a hand they won't usually fold on the turn. I'd check it down if called on the flop, but prob bet on hitting an A or J. def fold to a check/raise.

I wouldn't raise the flop..i'd just fold. either raise more PF or don't raise at all...

[benny999]

I wouldn't raise the flop..i'd just fold.

You'd fold the flop to a min bet (13+ to 1 odds)?

Benny's right... I'm not gonna fold to a minbet. As a matter of fact, minbets make me more inclined to call and bust the villain for being so annoying.

Raise or call here... If you're gonna raise, it's gonna have to be more substantial than that..$2.50 or so? You gotta slow down on later streets, there's no reason why he doesn't have KQ or better.

I often laugh and make it $3. Sometimes call, rarely fold. It depends on what I think he wants me to do and if I've been auto-raising these stupid bets.

[thnwkd]

you were weak on every street.

preflop: make it 1.25
flop: make it 3.00
turn: chk behind
river: chk/fold non A or chk/call A

villian either has KQ, maybe AQ(rarely) or a set.
