    Default 50nl limped pot strange turn decision

    Okay so like, because it's a limped pot I'm not exactly sure if I'm ever getting called when I'm ahead. But flatting the turn seemed to me like I wasn't going to get paid off by worse. Anybody agree/disagree w/ this? After I got minraised on the flop I def felt his holdings were exactly A5, A6, or some random bluff. But now I pick up backdoor FD so anybody play this differently?

    Preflop: Hero is SB with 5, 6.
    1 fold, MP calls $0.50, 1 fold, Button calls $0.50, Hero completes, BB checks.

    River: ($56.40) 2 (2 players, 1 all-in)

    Final Pot: $56.40

    Since he's a halfstack his range includes a lot of bare aces imo. I try to get it in on the flop. I guess if you think he has a bluff your line is good. Can't fold now.

    hes stacking with any bare A. a lot depends on the game flow/dynamics though. im probably just 3 bet/calling flop though.

    This looks good to me. It would be different if it wasn't a bad shortie but they stack off light whether its a limped pot or a raised pot so I don't think the "don't stack off in a limped pot without the nuts" thing applies.

    I fold pre-flop when I'm on my A game. If I get there I'm 3-balling this flop if I don't think he's laying down an Ace.

    After I got minraised on the flop I def felt his holdings were exactly A5, A6, or some random bluff
    If that's your read, then I would just dump it to his flop raise.

    In 100BB and kinda tough villain it'd be pot control time but here re-raise him AI, because you're going to get called by one pairs and draws like 80% of the time.

    Completing SB with sooted garbage presents a lot of postflop problems and it's really tough to get value OOP, even with flopped straights and flushes.

    omg button is a limping 1/2 stack I'd get it in on the flop all day

    what u did works too
    when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?

    Our hand plays like ass out of position. Without reads I think it's at best close. That said, I'd over-limp it on the button in a heartbeat.

    In online play, I think you're best off just folding here so you can focus on more interesting hands. Although I might complete this after a single limper intending to c/r or donk lots of flops. Once the second limper comes in, we're going to have to play our hand closer to face value.

    In live play, I either call here to blend in or fold to advertise my tight image.

    i think the instances alone of fastplaying a flopped straight with this hand vs a few limping retards is going to nearly break us even on completing half a beebee. you dont have to get involved on a ton of flops with this hand oop for it to be slightly profitable. im probably wrong though...meh
