uh, raise preflop. might make the flop a little easier.

If they are really tight passive, then a fold is probably right.

Raise preflop,
Fold the flop DUE TO YOUR READS AND THE 2 BACK TO YOU.

Good fold. With this read I'd put UTG+1 on a flush draw (probably with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]) and MP1 on at least a better king.

Of course, if that's not a very strong read, then you're a Lee Jones clone and you should've 3-bet. Which is what I probably would have done. But that's just me. I'm Mr. Vegas.

I dump it even though there is a small chance your ahead. The pot isn't that big you have almost no outs if behind and probably have to dodge a fair amount of cards if ahead. It could get expensive to get to showdown. I'm limping pre flop here.

Youre getting 4.25 to one if you call 2 cold and you may have the best hand. Even tight passive's may raise for a free card. In this case I think I'm at least calling. This is close though because of the size of the pot so perhaps I'm wrong on this one. Now that I think about it, the T or K of [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]'s puts 3 to a flush aboard and the other T's put a possible straight on board so I guess you should probably fold. My LAGy ass would've probably reraised though [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img].

Why do you limp preflop here? This is a good multiway hand with some high card potential.

On a tight passive table your reverse dominated here a fair amount but thats just me raising isn't terrible with position and possibly makes this hand much easier to play post flop so i won't argue against it.

Angrily fold on the flop. This is something I need to work on.

What would we do with AK, KQ?
