Raising this flop is a perfect example of bad aggression...I'm comfortable with folding this flop

Re: How much aggression is right?
 

I'm going to let this hand go before it gets out of control. You could possibly raise that flop once if the villain is awfully weak, but beyond that I think you have to accept you lost this one.

Folds. You have no hand, no draw and any possible outs are tainted beyond reason. Drop it without a second thought and move on.

This is weird that he donks into you instead of check/raising. Even still, you most likely aren't going to get him to fold, and he's probably got you beat. Easy fold.

Re: How much aggression is right?
 

I think you can fold here. He may be betting the K or the flush draw. At most you have four outs (the A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]and 10 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] are shot) and the 10's may be gone altogether. Don't forget you may already be drawing dead. Fold here and save your money.

Re: How much aggression is right?
 

thank you for your comments. I realize that the AT suited raise is wrong. Those clubs just looked so purty at the time.

By the way, I did fold the hand. I'm glad everyone thought it was the right play.

Bill

Re: How much aggression is right?
 

I'd fold. The pot is too small to chase your non-diamond outs. A reasonable single diamond won't fold here.

I raise this preflop everytime. Good flop fold.

I don't really understand this comment???

A suited Ace high with good kicker against one limping opponent and you wouldn't raise.

Seems like you would be ahead preflop a majority of the time.
