Firstly, I was in a dilemma between calling and 4betting preflop. I dont think im ever 4bet for value here so it would be my 4bet bluff hand.

As played, on the flop, I called 1 street to see if i hit any backdoor straight outs. After the board paired, I decided to give up.

Any way I could have played this differently? A more +ev line?

Hi limpblz1988

Preflop: Folding preflop vs a standard reg would not be a mistake but he seems quite loose. I'm assuming the sample is large?

And you don't want to 4-bet bluff a hand without blockers.

Postflop: We shouldn't call the flop to hit a backdoor outs but rather because we think we are ahead of the players range. Given it's still MP vs UTG and he cbet big a wet board I'd fold flop.
