personally, i think it's horrible all around. What are you doing limping here? Fold or raise is a better option.


As for you gigantic raise... I don't see the point of it. Do you think someone with a pair of 4s is going to call that?? Maybe you were hoping A6+ will fold? In that case you might as well be holding 27. On the plus side you did get all the flush draws to fold. (I doubt they would have called a pot sized bet here anyway)
