Please review my hand. This is on a Rush table. 25nl Rush plays similar to 5nl-10nl non-Rush in certain ways.

I have this note on BU:
3-16-10 - 25NL - Hero Call 2x Vs Me OOP Ace high postflop

I have this note on BB:
3-7-10 - 25NL - 3Bet OOP vs Me
3-16-10 - 25NL - Float Semi-wet flop Vs me and Bet turn vs missed cbet

Please answer these questions:
1. Knowing that BU is very loose-passive, should I raise bigger preflop?
2. How should I handle the 3bet?
3. I check-evaluate on the flop, is that fine?
4. As played how do I handle the shove?

Thanks, Yojimgari

1. I like to go 6-7x OOP, but $1.25 is pretty standard and is fine imo, just realize that an open limp from the button is usually a speculative hand thus play post flop accordingly

2. Depends on how villain perceives your raise from the SB, but I'm calling at least

3. Yes, as played I'm folding if the BB shoves

4. I'm calling, seldom do players open limp the button with a pair, even the weakest players, so your better than most his range here, even for a loose-passive player

And I would assume that if the BB had QQ-AA here that he would just cbet and get it in

You say 6x-7x is fine, but also $1.25. Please tell me what size you would raise to?

You say to call or 4bet, can you tell me what you do please? If you 4bet, what size do you make it?

Are you sure I shouldn't shove or fold against the button shove? Thanks, Yojimgari

i'd just ship it on the flop after he shoves, and pf looks good. i don't really like getting it in pre vs randoms at rush so calling this 3-ways should be fine even though you're OOP esp since you're getting a good price.

Edit that, I usually do 5-6x OOP, It depends on stack size, usually people who open limp often have shorter stacks, I don't really have a system on it, but more often than not I'm raising 5x for those under 80bb's, 6x for those over

And on whether to call or 4bet depends how villain perceives your raise from SB (based on your stats), and how aggressive the villain is playing (based on his stats). Unless the BB is playing something like 35-25+ 3B: 9+, I'm comfortable calling there

And yes I think the call is fine, looks like he turned out with the nuts, but after two checks I think he has enough air, random draws, and one pairs in his range for that to be profitable

why do you want to get it in on flop?

cant be a big mistake though..

cuz if we call we only have a half stack left and its impossible for us to play better than BB postflop since he has position.
