Hero (2200) limps UTG 1 with 7

MP2 (900) limps

CO (2000) raises to 30, I call, MP2 calls

CO is a very solid reg, MP2 is a fish

J

Hero checks, MP2 checks, CO bets 50, hero calls, MP2 calls

T

Hero?

Flop seems like a great one to check-raise. If you're not c/r-ing this, do you have 0 bluffs in your c/r range in this spot?

As played, I think you have to lead out here to make sure it doesn't check through and get value from the fish. Something in the realm of $150.

Yeah i have 0 cr bluffs here. Too deep and unnecessary. I would rather just float but dont see the point in having any bluffs vs a very good player IP and a fish in between. Also, why fold the fish out and go HU vs a shark OOP? Always a chance the fish raises and i can gii vs him

Don't really like the open-limp pf either. The time to actually worry about balance is when there are good players in the game and it seems like you're not balancing well.

AKcc is drawing to the nuts and has 2 overs. None of my outs are nuts. Im not a fan of raising flop at all with non nut draws and a fish in between me and CO

Pre i can obv open fold but the limp will usually get raised and 3 bets are common in this game

Your second comment makes the limp preflop even worse right? Why limp this hand if raises and 3-bets are common over limps?

Yeah QTcc i def consider a raise, much much better hand. Dont think i ever have AKcc or AQcc as i def raise em pre

Well if there wasnt a lot of raising over limpers and rare 3betting i open this hand myself. Im not interested in playing limped pots when the rake is 1bb. Im limping here in the hope it gets raised. Prob the nut bottom of my limp range. I prob open fold Q9cc..not getting involved with a 2 gapper EP
