Party 1/2, fairly tight-aggressive table...I am dealt T /images/graemlins/club.gif J /images/graemlins/club.gif UTG
Given how the table has been playing (usually at least one raise and only 3-4 to the flop), I almost muck, but then I bitchslap myself and call...folded to early MP who calls, late MP poster checks, CO, button, and SB all call, BB checks...seven see the flop
Q /images/graemlins/spade.gif 9 /images/graemlins/heart.gif K /images/graemlins/club.gif
SB bets, BB folds, I raise (smooth call instead?), folded all the way around to SB who calls.
(Q /images/graemlins/spade.gif 9 /images/graemlins/heart.gif K /images/graemlins/club.gif) Q /images/graemlins/diamond.gif
SB checks, I bet, he calls.
(Q /images/graemlins/spade.gif 9 /images/graemlins/heart.gif K /images/graemlins/club.gif Q /images/graemlins/diamond.gif) J /images/graemlins/heart.gif
SB checks, I bet, he calls...
I take the pot when he shows A /images/graemlins/club.gif 5 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif
While it was a decent pot to take, with all of the PF callers, I wonder if I should have only smooth-called on the flop. I admit that my flop bet was based somewhat in fear, since even with the rainbow flop, I never assume that a flopped straight will automatically hold up when there are seven to see it.
Any advice would be appreciated!
