Message: [QUOTE="300HPGOD, post: 5972239, member: 305911"] My pre flop decision on this hand would come down to what I know about the BB and also what I know about the villain who already limped. First, if the BB is not an aggressive player and I think they will check behind a lot I prefer just calling here and trying to see the flop cheaply. Same rationale vs the main villain that if I never think they are folding to a pre flop raise in this spot I would rather just see the flop. Otherwise we get ourselves into a spot where we are out of position and have a hand that is hard to play post, especially when out of position. Its also a hand I dont mind playing against 1 opponent or 2 since I am very card dependent and need a set (outside of one c bet bluff) so playing against 2 players will usually add value when a set is flopped. On the flop you get your set which is what you will really need most of the time with this hand unless you get villain to fold to your c bet when you dont hit. I think your bet sizing is the worst thing you can do. Players react differently to min bets so you add a variable there and also your bet charges no draws since it is a min bet. I much prefer betting something more "normal" there and going with 50-66% of pot bet. Qx will call, Jx might call, draws will call (that includes straight and flush) so there is no reason not to bet here with the intention of getting value from worse hands. Betting as you did allows those draws to see the turn for next to nothing and there are plenty of turn cards we dont like. Betting small like this also hinders the bet sizings of future streets so even if you got a call here you are deteriorating your value not only on the flop but on the turn and river as well.
