15/30 Hand at Absolute

[risen]

I don't post hands too often, so if you have any criticism of my play I'd greatly apreciate it

I'm playing a way above my bankroll here, but the lineup seems to be the Regulars from the 10/20 so I figure it's worth a shot.

3AM, 4 Handed. The table is passive, because of the 10/15 blind structure it's becoming impossible to steal and no one is laying down their hand if they hit any piece of the flop.

(There hasn't been so much as a 3 bet preflop for the last 2 hours, and all of a sudden we're capped 4 ways. I'm pretty sure I'm behind to a pocket pair or a bigger Ace, or am I seeing monsters under the bed? It is a 4 handed table.)

(Well so much for taking down the pot right there with a c/r, Now I'm pretty sure I'm facing down AK/AQ/QQ from the button and I have no read on the SB. KJ letting us do all the work maybe?)

Well that doesn't really help me, though it does offer me 2 more outs (unless I'm facing AA or QQ)

Whoohoo!

All call

I showdown, Button mucks and says QQ, SB flashes TT.

I'm not happy with my play here even though the results were nice, and I think it was a function of playing at higher than normal limits, playing short handed, and playing tired. Help me out guys.

Hero should not be seeing the flop.

I agree with Pipedream, you should not have seen the flop, even though the game is 4-handed.

I'd stick with your read on the turn and just call. Otherwise I think the post-flop was fine.
