Lay down top 2 on this flop at the Party 11s? Of course not.

You're ahead most of the time here - the only hand I see you behind is a possible 77 limp by UTG+1. Very draw-heavy board, you have to call the all-in. But I might have pushed instead of raising to 225.

Early on I fold KQo without a second thought from every position. I might limp KQs in later positions if theres a few limpers before me, otherwise KQ goes in the dump this early on.

UTG+1 played the flop very oddly, call then push. I'm putting him on a set of 7s or straight/flush draw. (Although it's possible he has something like K7-KJ and maybe with a single heart to runner-runner flush you.)

Even if he hits a flush or straight, you can still boat it up. I think you have to call the all-in here.

This would be one of the worst laydowns I have ever seen.

Yes of course you need to fold the chnace is way too high that he has exactly 77, of course nobody with aces would follow thast line, I wont even think abvout the possibility of either a flush draw or AK being there, your oponent clearly has 77

ps: if your opoenernt had a flush draw you should consider going here (http://www.internettexasholdem.com/index.php?option=com_static&amp;staticfile=poker-eval.php&amp;Itemid=69) and here (http://sharnett.bol.ucla.edu/ICM/ICM.html)
