    Default Limpin ain't easy

    Two non descript loose fish. MP is loose passive, and CO is super loose fish-same guy in my other thread in AQ hand.
    Is firing 2 streets into these loose players on this board a leak? Should I check turn to re-evaluate or bet/fold like I did?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver Cards)

    CO ($46.40)
    Button ($98.30)
    Hero ($67.10)
    BB ($50.75)
    UTG ($67.45)
    MP ($33.90)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with , .
    1 fold, MP calls $0.50, CO calls $0.50, 1 fold, Hero completes, BB checks.

    Flop: ($2) , , (4 players)
    Hero bets $1.5, BB folds, MP calls $1.50, CO calls $1.50.

    Turn: ($6.50) (3 players)
    Hero bets $4.5, MP calls $4.50, CO raises to $10, Hero folds, MP calls $5.50.

    River: ($31) (2 players)
    MP checks, CO bets $6, MP calls $6.

    Final Pot: $43

    i'm curious to see what others say. i play it as you did. that raise on the turn has to mean something if the players are true fish. maybe pocket 4's hit their set? maybe JJ-QQ coming alive? T8? out of a fish (loose passive), i cant see many other things that would call the flop, but raise the turn.

    i think you were beat there, and oop, its a fold, to me.
    LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

    Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!

    AT or a set of 2's otherwise we are good here. If he called the flop with 44 then hes a donk.
    Id be tempted to see what he has.

    I got to see the showdown, so I can tell you what he had . . . later. Miffed I think there range is wider than that given my reads on villains.

    Anyway, I was really focusing on whether or not I should b/f, c/c, or c/f the turn. This board is so drawy, but it is a limped pot. Any other suggestions on the turn play?

    Fold turn, you are behind 75% of the time IMO vs. his range

    turn is a bet fold, you have top pair and there are some draws. considering this is limped theres soooo much in ranges that is makes it an easy fold.

    I play it the same although CO took a weird line... but hey he's a fish so who cares.

    So everyone else bets the turn here with so many draws out. How about the fact that we had two callers in positions on us. Everyone still bet/folds this turn? Just checking.
