25NL, TPGK 6-way, I'm a wallflower (boring)

[PinkSteel]

Second hand at the table, no reads.

I didn't want to mix it up 6-way and find out I was already beat, or get called and outdrawn. I was willing to draw to 3 outs and maybe take more out of someone, or hopefully take down a small pot. Reasonable?

How good was the good kicker?

You know, after realizing that I left out my own hand and it was too late to edit, I was going to just let this one die quietly.... [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

I HATE the smoothcall on the flop. It was a min bet (probably on a draw) and by calling you entice others to call. I make a pot sized raise here. I can't say what I would do on the turn and river because the hand would have been completely different if you raise the flop.

That's exactly what I wrestled with. I knew I wasn't charging draws, but I thought that with 5 others in, everyone on a draw is going to figure that there will be other callers and they'll get their odds, so they'll all call me, and pretty soon I'm playing a huge multiway pot with a pair. So I minimized my investment.

HU, 3-way, even 4-way I absolutely pot the flop. But 6-way just looked like too big a field.
