You should always remember two golden rules when playing against loose opponents (especially with 74 VP$IP and on NL4): 1) the looser they play, the tighter you should play. 2) never try to bluff a fish/loose player.

Your hand isn't suited neither connected so I'd say fold pre. Anyway, you can't beat much OTT and OTR so I'd just give up there.

Hey Balltas,

I would fold preflop here, hand is garbage.

Flop lead is fine, $0.11 is fine.

Turning hand into bluff on turn is not unreasonable. Slightly better just to x/f with this particular holding.

River x/c is way too thin at these limits.
