fold preflop

If action behind you after the call pre-flop was typical, then the call was OK. On the flop you have a pretty good draw and two people in front of you to play with. I would raise to knock out the players behind you with the intention of taking a free card on the turn if you missed and no one bets.

You raise on the turn is good, but it would have been even better if you had already knoeck out the rest with a flop raise.

This was my big mistake in this hand. I thought about raising and for whatever reason I decided against it. Really I was thinking, incorrectly, that my hand liked callers and if I hit I would get paid off in multiple places.

I lost to the SB who had a q2o, UTG had J10, mp3 had a K 5 (I think it was a 5 I didn't see it because I was a little miffed at and looked away) saying he was representing KQ. Pot was just too big to fold on the river but I knew I was beat.

Definitely raise that flop. You buy yourself a free card if the turn doesn't help you, and if it does you've knocked out hands with one big heart that might have called, viz A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], plus you have some small deception value.

In a 10-20 game with two limpers ahead of you? Sure, I'd pitch AJo in a heartbeat, but 78s seems nice and uncorrelated, plus you're expecting more company to your left.

i think AJo is such a superior holding to 78s in this position with these limpers that it's not even worth discussing.
