Bet. If you're gonna give up now, you might as well have folded the flop.

What kind of hands do you think two players called my flop bet with ?
If they dont include an 8 or Q.

I didnīt know that I would get two calls.

I bet because I can easily fold to a raise against typical opponents. You'd be amazed by what they'll call with, even as little as 1 overcard.

Trix,

Good to have you back in Micro for a visit.

I bet the turn. I know it doesn't make any sense, but as long as players keep showing me A6 I'll keep doing this.

You can fold to a raise because that must be an 8 or 22 and you have at most two outs. Otherwise a bet is at least as good as a check-call. I'm not willing to fold top pair when it could be good and I have many outs to a split against a better queen.

I bet and they both folded.

Guess they missed their overcard, backdoorflush or whatever...

I think a lot of players play as little as 1 overcard and in general people don't like folding the flop for 1 bet, even with things like backdoor draws. They usually like to peel one off. IMO leading again on the turn is the best play. Sure, there's a good chance someone has an 8, but they'll usually let you know about it with a raise so its better to be able to safely fold after 1 turn bet then to check call 2 bets and get shown trips. I'm assuming you didn't want to fold top pair for one bet on the turn here.
