I felt I played better than usual today so I decided to play at a higher limit. And there was a 10-handed 5/10 game open. Perhaps I could also learn something from the players at this limit... And then, the third hand I play:

CO ($1000)
Hero ($980)

UTG+1 ($1000)
UTG+2 ($171.25)
MP1 ($757.25)
MP2 ($1044)
MP3 ($510)
Preflop: Hero is Button with Q/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, Q/images/graemlins/heart.gif. CO posts a blind of $10. SB posts a blind of $5.
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+2 raises to $40</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP3 calls $40, CO (poster) calls $30, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $175</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, UTG+2 calls $131.25 (All-In), MP3 calls $135, CO calls $135.
Flop: ($711.25) 6/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 4/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, A/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="#0000FF">(4 players, 1 all-in)</font>
MP3 calls $335 (All-In), CO folds, Hero folds.
Turn: ($1046.25) 2/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 2 all-in)</font>
River: ($1046.25) T/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 2 all-in)</font>
Final Pot: $1046.25
Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
UTG+2 has Qc Kc (high card, ace).
MP3 has Kd Jd (high card, ace).
Outcome: UTG+2 wins $660. MP3 wins $386.25. </font>
Not that interesting but I don't understand his flop bet. I think it is retarded. But AZK posted a hand where he raised all in with a gutshot when a shortstack was all in. So I wonder if there are some poker secrets I don't know about.
Does anyone call here getting 3-1?
Next hand is more interesting I think. I only played 20 hands. And none of the players involved has done anything noticeable. Perhaps UTG and CO are a little loose and passive. Looking for comments on flop play.

SB checks, UTG checks, Hero checks, CO checks.
<font color="red"> Should I bet here? I would not be super excited if SB or UTG checkraised me. I have given this a lot of thoughts and I don't know what the best play is (if there is one). </font>

I couldnt put him on a hand here. I thought he would bet a jack or a set on flop. And he would raise a set or a flush on turn. Perhaps I give him too much credit.
My hand is probably good, so i just stick the rest in, yes?
Final Pot: $2090
