[MICRO] Easy turn raise?

[MICRO] Easy turn raise?

Hi,

no meaningful stats on the opponents.

My thoughts:
- Flop: Not sure how strong my hand is but even if I assume I need to hit one of my five outs, odds seem ok
- Turn: Probably should raise to extract value from weaker five and shild against all kinds of draws?
- River: Preferred call over raise to give the SB good odds for a call as opposed to shoving against weaker fives. Thoughts?

I like raising turn. There are so many weaker 5x, stubborn nines, FDs, SDs and even funky OPs that this combo/runout should print vs at least one fish.

And I like jamming river for the same reason. With no info i can see why you want to maximise vs the fishier guy and minimise vs the boats in BB's range but I'd rather just pump the pot on a dream runout like this.

I like maybe a min click back OTT or OTR. I'm not sure if I like a turn raise though, river seems okay. Don't think a bigger raise is going to perform better. A click back OTR may be better than check, you wouldn't mind losing a player (could still come along with yet another worse 5) and you almost always get paid by BB's 5x anyway with that size. But I like how you played it too
