    Default Passive played FD+gutshot hits and I'm not feeling good

    So villain is 14/13/inf over 38 hands and without reads yet.

    Apart from preflop this hand felt dirty as I'm having this weak-tight thinking of nature and am trying to get rid of it.

    My thoughtprocess
    Flop: I'm calling the cbet because we're multiway, my gutshot is to the nuts and a call will leave worse draws in.
    Villain raises, usualy sets and the NFD I'd say. I'm not excluding worse FD's, but discount them a bit. I call because I'm not feeling good about stacking of and worse draws might even fold to a shove.

    Turn: Probably the best card in the deck, villain keeps betting which he probably does with the whole range I gave him, so nothing changed except that I'm drawing dead when behind.

    River: My plan is basically to c/c up to a 1/2psb. Even T9 isn't possibly anymore after turn so I really don't beat much. I wasn't sure villain is good enough to not bet a worse FD here though.

    Any comments from flop on are welcome. I'm especially interested in the option of raising the cbet looking to get it in.

    Well on the flop, after calling the c-bet, it comes back around and you are getting almost 4:1 on your call, so its def a +EV call. The turn is ONE of the best cards in the deck, the only one that would be better is the T, as that gives you the nuts with a redraw to the flush (which if he has a better draw, you can get a LOT of value out of by c/r).

    It seems fine.
