Default Re: One More Question Before Results

IMO, I don't think there is any way that you will win the pot with your bet there. You played the PF well and you just ran into a terrible flop. It had to hit your opponents hands at least somewhat and you will have to go all-in for any chance for the button to fold.

FWIW, I think I would favour the check and fold to an all-in from the button. It sounds pretty weak, but you still have the chips to do some damage if you fold here. Almost any hand that would cold call your large PF raise (KK, QQ, JJ, AK) should have hit this flop hard. The only reasonable hand that you would be ahead of here is AK. You are even behind the maniacs who would call with KQ and QJ.

One other thing, UTG has already checked the flop and if the button hit trips on this flop, he may check to keep you in (I wouldn't, but some might). If you could get a free card here, you do have 2 aces and 4 tens that would give you the likely best hand.
