Hey guys, I was having trouble at .25/.50 so I thought I would move down to .02/.04 where I had always done better.

Here's the hand:

I'll post results later.

What would you do?

PokerStars 0.02/0.04 Hold'em (10 handed)

Preflop: Hero is Button with Q/images/graemlins/heart.gif, A/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.
UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, UTG+2 folds, MP1 folds, MP2 calls, MP3 calls, CO calls, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, SB calls, BB calls, UTG calls, UTG+1 folds, MP2 calls, MP3 folds, CO calls.

Flop: (14 SB) A/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 8/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 9/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="blue">(6 players)</font>
SB checks, BB checks, UTG checks, MP2 checks, CO checks, <font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, SB folds, BB folds, UTG folds, MP2 calls, CO calls.

Turn: (8.50 BB) T/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
MP2 checks, <font color="CC3333">CO bets</font>, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, MP2 folds, <font color="CC3333">CO 3-bets</font>,

Hero?

Should I put him on Kh here and fold? Or is the pot too big to fold and should I stay in? I'm not scared of the straight flush because I have the Qh so the only way he'd have it is with Jh7h.

Folding is absolutely wrong.

I would call down.

Why .02/.04 instead of .05/.10?


I would probably cap this, and throw as many bets as I can on the river too.

If he shows the K I curse, if he shows less and I called down I curse.

I curse alot in this game

He had Kh9d. Needless to say I cursed.

Was my raise before the flop correct with so many limpers before me?

Cap the turn, Call if he leads the river.

And yes its always ok to raise AQ, unless there is a rock raising ahead of you.

Thanks. I was pretty sure I had the best hand at the moment, and I remember reading in some book that no matter how many people are already in the hand, you must raise monsters like AQ on pure expected value. Is that why?

Next stop is weak-tight land.

Excellent song.
