The table tends to be fairly loose preflop but quite tight passive postflop. Most people seem to want to see a flop with most hands but give up quite quickly after. Only at the table 15 mins though so don't have a lot to go on. Pot sizes aren't exact cos the hh doesn't tell me what the rake was but doesn't really make a difference here.

How do you guys play this? Do you raise preflop?

The free card I gave on the flop is dangerous I know but does anyone else do this here? From what I've seen of the table, I will know very quickly if someone has drawn out on me.

Turn raise is standard, right?

Your play fit in exactly with how you describe the rest of the table is... I think on the flop I'd put out a "no one else bet so I'll steal it" feeler of $.50. Also, on tables like you describe you dont need to wait until you hit trips, you play this same way with any 2 cards in position you likley take it down 3 out of 4 times on a really tight pf table.

I'm probably raising this PF from the CO, maybe 4-5bb. I'll limp on occasion also, though.

Last to act on the flop here, I don't feel like giving a free card, I bet 1/2 to 3/4 of pot.

You played it fine, IMO.

If I'm raising here I'm trying to take down the pot, this won't happen here. The table likes to see alot of flops. I suppose I could minraise it to basically double the stakes and build it for when I do hit the flop but I dont think I'm ever taking this down even with a 4-6BB raise, that's why I limped.

I'm tending to agree that the free card wasn't the greatest idea . I guess I was just convinced someone would have a shot at the pot on the turn if it got checked around (and not to sound smug, but I was right ), and I don't tend to pay people off in these situations (esp as this table lets you know when you're beat!). That made me check it. 10 scared me and I had to raise to find out where I was.
