[colgin]

Fairly passive table.

Any card but the Ace I bet. If the flop were QQ7 I bet. If the flop were 952 I bet. Here I check.

Betting any card but an Ace was exactly my plan. But when the Ace fell there was some disconect between my brain and hand and I bet anyway. I posted because I was wondering whether this was terrible, merely bad, neutral or OK.

If you dont flop a set you should fold with almost everyhand
I think you won this hand due to you posting it and so obviously screams fold.
It is the best to check and fold these hands even if you won this one.

It's terrible, the only possible way to play is to raise another bettor but that's a slim chance as well... /v

I'm not so sure. With all those limpers, I think any Ace or face means MHING.

I guess you missed Clark's thread.

This is pretty weak tight. Ya gotta tussle, homie.

[LotusBoy]

Is it OK to bet the flop instead? Since the table is passive?

Against 4 opponents, on a passive table, in a very small pot, I am check/folding this hand on all streets with no set.

If you were last to act you should bet the flop.

As I stated above I had planned to bet any non-Ace on the turn but then changed my mind and bet the Ace anyway. I don't really think that that is a great move, but on the other hand somtimes the first person to bet at a small pot like this takes it down. By the way, I plan to fold to a raise on the turn and if called in several places just check the river and hope for the best.

Anywho, for those who care I was way behind on this one and got lucky.

I guess if there has to be a suckout I would rather be the beneficiary than the victim, particularly since it is usually the other way around.

I'm pretty surprised the villain didn't raise the turn. Passive type?
