Why did you call the turn?

No draws at all, just one overcard,,, or you thought your Q high where good here? If anything, you shouldn't call. Either raise on a stone cold steal attempt or fold.

Without any reads, I fold to his cap on the flop. I would probably just call his raise and not 3-bet, then check/fold turn unless a 7 came.

I think this was well-played except for perhaps pre-flop. I'm not sure it's best to limp here. I think some would say fold, and some would say raise. Post-flop, let's hope villain overplayed his AK, AA, KQ, or AT, and we don't see TT or KK.

Re: dec-4
 

What type of hands do I hope to drive out with a PF-raise? Especially after 3-callers I'm not sure what those could be.
