77 UTG+1 - Best way to play a hand like this?
This is hand 3 of 3
This is a situation that I always find kinda tricky to play. I know for a fact that over time I lose so much more with these kind of hands than I should do so I'm gonna break this hand down over the streets.
My initial plan here was to open raise to 60p (3x being my standard OR). However that plan was quickly put to bed when oppo 2 OR instead! I thought it was worth going set mining here as based on how the table had been playing I thought it was likely I'd probably see another call behind me to bump up the pot should I hit.
Ordinarily I'd be extremely wary of a raise from UTG but my notes made me believe that this particular player is more likely to raise wider than most even from early position. My notes on this player were that he will make up the SB with total trash (I'd already seen him do this twice in this session with T6o & 94o!) & he will bet out if he hits ANY part of the board with them.
When the flop comes it looks fairly OK (it could have been a lot worse) but I also knew that it could have possibly hit oppo 2. Given my notes & the fact that he's shown some weakness, would it be reasonable to bet out here to see if we could take it down or with 2 overs on the board is it best to just check behind & see what the turn brings?
