how did i play this hand

I think the PF call is marginal. Horrible position for the rest of the hand.

Anyone else care to comment here?

The flop C/R was good, but UTG+1 called cold, kinda ruining it for you.

The rest I play the same.

[KaiShin]

I think the call PF here is fine. Assuming UTG+1 doesn't LRR, you've got 3 CC'ers along with you, so its OK to continue here.

I'd play the rest of the hand the same.

[GrunchCan]

PF call is mandatory. Mandatory. I mean, Hero is getting 9:1 here. That's not even close to marginal.

On the flop, what does your CR accomplish? It ties your opponents to a flop when you have a marginal, vulnerable hand. Bad. It doesn't protect your hand. It increases the size of the pot, but you should be trying to increase your chances to win it here - not make it artificially bigger.

Bet the flop.
