$2 NL HE 6-max: Can we find a fold with the 2nd nut straight?

[monkeytilter]

Do you play a lot of NL2? Just out of curiosity. I barely see you anywhere so just trying to get a sense of where you are coming from. I think I may have seen you once on Snap tables in 888 (ShadowBenny).

Not now, I "graduated" from NL2 years back. (Remember PKR? 😱)

I took a quick dip in the 888 NL2 pool a couple of nights just to check it was a soft as NL2 normally is (double checking the general direction of the advice I've given you).

Glad to say this is probably one of the softest games I've seen, so my advice is still play solid ranges (tending toward tighter), learn ABC value lines post flop, don't try to play this like NL50+

I've not played a massive amount on 888, not even validated my account yet.
Built a $250 bankroll from zero there, I might start playing some 2NL snap there just to get my club level up when I've validated, so you might see me on the tables from time to time despite the time zone difference.

If you've got $250, play 10nl. On 888, 10nl is very soft!

What second best hands did you think your opponent was calling to raise?
As played, it's a river fold.

Any Ax, sets, 5x. This is 2NL after all and players frequently show up drunk.
