Hand converted with online PokerStrategy.com hand converter:

Play hand

$0.01/$0.02 No-Limit Hold'em (8 handed)

Known players:
[tg]MP2$2.08:///////;MP3$2.56:///////;CO (Hero)$3.14:///////;BU$2.86:///////;SB$12.24:///////;BB$0.73:///////;UTG2$2.00:///////;MP1$1.90:///////;[/tg]

Preflop: Hero is CO with 6:h, A:d.
4 folds, Hero raises to $0.08, BU calls $0.08, 2 folds, BB folds.

Flop: ($0.19) 8:d, Q:c, 2:h (2 players)
Hero bets $0.14, BU calls $0.14.

Turn: ($0.47) K:d (2 players)
Hero checks, BU bets $0.45, Hero folds, BU gets uncalled bet back.

Final Pot: $0.47.

I wanted to steal from CO. But then the Button calls. The button is a loose player, so my steal was maybe not that smart.

I did what you have to do with steal and the flop is dry enough for a steal.
But he is happy to call so I gave up.

Burned some money here. The wrong decision was to steal with 1 loose player behind me.

An open raise With A6o on CO is a bit loose. A c-bet then is indeed a standard play on this flop and the turn fold is also good. But if you know that he is a very loos player and calls you many times than a c-bet might not be the best solution is this case. Because the c-bet is here a pure bluff, and you should not bluff against someone that often calls.

- and villain is also in advantage, because he is in position.

Hi,

Pre-flop is debatable. If you raise 3bb, it's more acceptable. If the BU is a station, then I would just fold here.

I don't like that flop bet if BU calls a lot. As played, I would bet turn as it seems to be improving our perceived range.
