Micro 1c/2c cash table with 8 players. Fairly new to table with an loose aggressive image at the table. Rest of table is pretty tight at this point. Not much action with a lot of preflop folding.

PREFLOP ACTION
Villain is UTG with $2.60 behind and limps for $0.02. UTG+1 stack is $3.20 and limps behind. Folds to me in middle position with 8♠:T♠: . I make a small raise to $0.07, mainly to try and keep two bigger stacks involved and see a flop in position. Cutoff folds. Button calls with $2 behind him. Both blinds fold and both limpers call.

FLOP
9♠:6♠:T♦: $0.30 pot

Action is checked to me. I c-bet $0.22 to build a pot. UTG calls. UTG+1 folds.

TURN
4♣: $0.74 pot

UTG checks. I bet $0.36 thinking he may have over cards that missed, middling pocket pairs, or some sort of draw that I can fold out here. He raises to $1.08. Given my image at the table so far, I don't think he's giving me any credit for a hand here and is likely putting me on a draw or bluff. I ship it for $1.69 and he calls with T♥:9♦:.

RIVER
K♣:

Should I ever be folding here with so many outs to improve?

Hi hijack1988,
Welcome to PokerStrategy.com! :welcome:

I'm not sure I'm the right guy to answer your question, since I'm not really a Hold'em player, but my thought on reading this is that it might be better to just call the turn check/raise. Or perhaps even fold it.

I'm curious to see what the experts think though.

All the best,
VS

I'm no expert, but I would always raise 3x and 1x per limper. With 2 limpers I would most likely just limp behind with a hand that could play well post-flop and I doubt if you make it 10c both limpers will fold to often.

As played the flop Cbet seems standard. After his turn/check raise I would fold. I doubt a random NL2 player will ever think about table image and only raise for value. He has also not to much money behind if you shove. I expect you have 0 fold equity here.

Cheers,

I would agree my preflop bet really didnt accomplish much more than fold out the complete garbage without applying much pressure.

As played, would checking behind on the turn be a better line, and get a free shot at hitting the river risk free? Then maybe call a river semi bluff with my top pair? Given how that plays out, he would certainly lead with any worse made hands and smaller pocket pairs limped preflop which he would play similarly if the draws miss, or worst case, check back the river with some showdown value?
