Unless you've been LAGging it up, why wouldn't you check here?

Would you bet unimproved AK into 3 callers?

Because checking and then later putting in a ton of money might tell a good player what you have.

Re: QQ party 10-20
 

if you're a lag, bet 1/2 pot (or how much you would bet AK unimproved) if you're a tag not c-betting very often, checking would be fine.

a little more info on this hand: I have just started playing these 10/20 games on party in the last two weeks and my experience is limited to only two of the three players in this hand. From what I have seen, hotmark777 and reefaddict.

hotmark777: seems to play mostly a TAG style preflop with a mix of a LAGgish style postflop at times if he senses a goodspot (but he won't do anything outrageous either).

reefaddict: Seems to play a a looser style preflop than hotmark 777, mixing in more hands according to position, but by no means is a LAG preflop whatsoever and he seems to have a tightish straight up approach postflop.

Seat 6: I had absolutely no clue about his play at all till this point.

My image: hotmark and reefaddict definitely are aware of me when I'm in a hand and know I am capable of playing all sorts of hands preflop (but not a maniac either) but at no time have they seen me raise preflop to 125 in a similar situation to this with any small pairs or suited connectors or any type of LAGish play like that, So they probably know I was raising some sort of good hand preflop.

Re: QQ party 10-20
 

how much money do you have?

Re: QQ party 10-20
 

check twice. if theres any action on the turn, make it look like youre trying to protect something, as if you had 1010 with a read. so ya checkraise turn if you can if not your just going to have to lead out on river and take what you can get (if anything)

Re: QQ party 10-20
 

ok here's what happened: we all checked the flop and

the turn was the 8 spades making a board of Q 7 7 8 rainbow
..reefaddict came out betting a poultry $20 , I just smooth called figuring any raise just plain gives my hand away and I wouldn't be giving any free cards away seeing as there was no flush draw possible,,,If I raise the turn the only action I'll get is from a 7 or if someone was unlucky enough to spike the 8 on the turn with a pair of them in their hand.
.....Now the interesting part,,,I smooth call the 20 and hotmark777 makes it 200 to go,
Seat 6 folds
reefaddict folds
....now back to me: what does everybody do here?
