15/30 Bellagio Hand

The most interesting part of this hand is the limper(s) who manages to call 2 cold for the initial raise, but then fold for 2 more. Bizarre.

Two people in MP called the initial raise, and then folded when it came back to them for two more. I found this a bit odd too...but saw similiar action at the table all day. Players would call one raise preflop w/ a wide range of hands, but give too much respect to a 3-bet (or in this case 4-bet)...especially if the raise was coming from EP. IS this common in the 15 game? Common enough to exploit?

Your play in this hand is somewhat quirky, as you seem to think you're behind preflop, but then ahead on the flop. Make up your mind.

Err...change the word "quirky" to "pretty bad" and I agree. If I'm going to lead any non-insanely scary flop, I should be capping it preflop. My current preferred way to play this hand is to call UTG's 4-bet, then check-raise the flop, see where I am, and go from there.
