Definitely flat. We want to keep the retard in, and there is a strong probability that spike has a big pair which he could well get away from if we jam. Also, when we check the turn we will have relative position and spike will likely bet his overpair for value and the fish will call and commit himself before we bring the hammer down. Profit.

edit: didn't notice the fish folded. I still c/r turn though for the same reasons, and that our hand looks like 88.

I'm folding 77 and 88 here. Probably even tens. I don't see spike being on a bluff much with a fish in the pot.

i like a flat with a small turn lead of like 36 to induce.

once u call the pot is 100+, u have 150 left
60-70 on turn 80-90 on river (pot is now 240)

This is a spot where he either has nothing in which case no more money is going in no matter how you play it, but id rather flat maybe if he spikes a pair on the turn or river he can put more money in, or he has trips or better and the money goes in any way you play it, I just flat like I said, if there was a draw out there Id just jam like fuck it flush draw im all in.

i really really like this

I am not playing these limits so please keep that in mind (and maybe someone can enlighten me) but isn't it way better to either bet a little bigger on turn + river (kind of what Jasper mentioned but maybe more like 55 on turn or whatever and shove river) or check through on turn and go for c/r there once he committed himself by betting himself on turn ??

Like, I don't really understand where a bet of like 36 will get you instead of a little bigger since there seem to be so little in his range to me that needs to be induced. The flat you'll make already looks pretty strong. Than he either has a solid hand he will either bet turn and/or river with because it's too nitty to check through twice. And in case he is bluffing, which I really doubt, I also doubt he is going to spazz on a 36 or whatever bet and is more likely to do something retarded if you check because it makes your hand look WAY more as an 77-99 that wasn't sure what to do on flop and just peeled for the sake of it and wants to get it checked through.

I'd raise it back unless he's superhappy with barrels. Don't wan't a 6 to hit if he has a 2 and I wan't to be able to rep something like 34 or 45.

u raise it back with 34 and 45 ???????? ??????????

Probably tank a bit, then call. Rest of the hand plays itself probably. Also; fold preflop.

Calling preflop is actually a pretty big leak.
