Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t15 (9 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx (http://www.zerodivide.cx/converter)

UTG+1 (t950)
MP1 (t800)
MP2 (t740)
MP3 (t700)
CO (t750)
Button (t775)
SB (t785)
Hero (t800)
UTG (t1700)

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q/images/graemlins/heart.gif, A/images/graemlins/heart.gif.
1 fold, UTG+1 calls t15, 1 fold, MP2 raises to t30, 2 folds, Button calls t30, 1 fold, Hero calls t15, UTG+1 calls t15.

Flop: (t127.50) 9/images/graemlins/club.gif, Q/images/graemlins/club.gif, J/images/graemlins/diamond.gif (4 players)
Hero checks, UTG+1 bets t75, MP2 calls t75, Button raises to t275, Hero folds

I was going to check-raise to try to pick it up right there, but then UTG+1 decided to bet out of nowhere, it got called and then raised. Didn't look too good for me, I thought.

I would have to agree...with both the c-r line, and the folding after button's raise.

I don't know about the c/r line. Giving a free card would be disasterous on this draw heavy board. You sure ther's gonna be a bet behind you? The way you played it though, yea looks like you have to fold.

There's a damn good chance someone will bet, and a c/r lets me raise hard, rather than leading out. I want to show strength to take the pot right here. Also if there's a ton of action, as is very possible with this board and in fact happened here, I can evaluate before investing chips and get out cheap.

Do you really want to get stupid against this much action? 99 is a viable hand here, and to a lesser extent KT and/or QJ. I also wouldn't be surprised if the preflop raiser had TT. You have that beat, but he has outs against you. Folding here isn't weak, it's smart.

I woul bet this flop about 100% of the time against this many people...Im lost otherwise. I'd fold here too.

Easy fold here. 2 pair, a monster draw, maybe a set somewhere... you're beat and you aren't priced in.
