Fine? villain can't have the nuts because he checked the turn and I can have it.

Preflop is ok vs. most villains I think but vs. this aggro one maybe should have limped or folded I think so we're not building a big pot vs an aggro villain with a mediocre hand (but didn't have much info so guess raising his bb is just fine). Maybe donking the flop would have been ok as well.

888 Poker - $0.05 PL Hi (6 max) - Omaha Hi - 3 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BB: 90.8 BB (VPIP: 21.43, PFR: 7.14, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 28)
BTN: 93.4 BB (VPIP: 41.88, PFR: 13.36, 3Bet Preflop: 1.92, Hands: 279)
Hero (SB): 112.6 BB

Hero posts SB 0.4 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.4 BB) Hero has 8

fold, Hero raises to 3 BB, BB raises to 9 BB, Hero calls 6 BB

Flop: (18 BB, 2 players) Q

Hero checks, BB bets 9 BB, Hero calls 9 BB

Turn: (36 BB, 2 players) A

Hero checks, BB checks

River: (36 BB, 2 players) 7

Hero checks, BB bets 18 BB, Hero raises to 50 BB??

Im not open raising pre unless villain overfolds or is bad postflop. Vs any half decent opponent Im limping.

Flop is fine now that he half pots it. Im folding if he bets pot or close to pot.

I understand your river thinking cuz his line is so fos. Not sure people bet/fold enough better hands tho. Most will chk back naked top pair and Im not sure he vbets/folds Aces up - altho I can see that happening. Dunno how often he has AA to begin with (or lower sets) and I definetely question whether he folds them to a raise. So when your bluff works you had the best hand quite often.

He was holding AxJx77 and called me. It has worked on other occasions though.

+1 to not raising pre.

Tempted to lead turn here but check is OK. River I like the raise some of the time but I would pot/jam it as opposed to a raise size of 50bb since we're repping exactly KJ.

Haha, just now realized you are saying 'thanks' instead of 'ten x'.

No offense to my fellow micro players, but I don't know if I bluff the river unless I think he's capable of folding. So many NLHE converts will crying call with AA here.

He might get irritated the second time and call.

True, guess the spot wasn't that good also I'd be leading turn a lot if I had the KJ.

Just figured I had to be hind once the ace fell so raising was the last chance to win the hand
