MP2 is a 40/0 fish (also only over 20 hands).

    My thoughts/comments are below. Please let me know what you think. Thank you in advance!

    Preflop: Not too much to say here. 2 limpers. I was in a BB and checked my J2s. Not a hand I'd be raising and I like my play.

    Flop: I hit the bottom set. Woo hoo! Being OOP sucks but I'm going to check hoping one of those guys rises (for me to 3-bet) or catches a card later on. Flush draw possible but other than that the board isn't too scary. Would you bet here hoping the fish calls?

    Turn: Two flush draws possible. I bet close to the pot and - surprisingly - 20/7 calls and the fish doesn't.

    River: Flush now possible. It's likely he has something like a middle pair or weak ace, so I'm betting 60% of the pot to get at least some value out of my set. He reraises me and I'm definitely not happy about it. But I think I'm good here often enough to call but probably not to raise, so I call with 4:1 / 20% odds.

    What do you think?

    Again - thank you for your time

    Since this is a limp pot you have no reason to expect anyone to do your betting for you. I would bet and hope anybody calls holding mostly the nuts!

    Looks a classic example - imho make them pay for the draw + lead out PSB for value on the flop and turn?

    Also I would consider a 20/7 to be a loose passive fish
