I'm UTG (433) with AQboth hearts. So far ive played a tight game lost one pot to a set. I raise to 18 (pretty standard at this 3-6 table) and get two callers. (plus the blinds there is now 62 in the pot. The flop comes 8 7 2(rainbow 1heart). Should i do a continuation bet here, check? Why. I decide to do a bet banking only my tight image. I bet 45 into a 62 dollar pot. UTG+1 cold calls Button moves all in. However he only has 92 so his all in is only 47 more. I do the math im getting a little better than 5 to 1 (244in the pot 47 to call) with two overscards and a backdoor. Im a little scared of what MP+1 will do if i call but i do say anyway. MP+1 also calls. The turn is a 4. I decide to check and i get a check behind me. River is an A, so the board is A 8 7 2 4 with no flushes. I decide again to check and perhaps checkraise . MP+1 checks behind. My aces were good. Comments?

you should be knowledgeable of stack sizes from the start, because that would predicate a coninutation bet.

As in... Button was so short stacked a coninuation bet committed you to calling the rest of his stack (even though you aren't really committed, your hand may be worse then 5:1 dog, but I guess I'd go on the assumption I have about ~25%+ pot equity now...) which isn't nice, so check.

If they had full stacks I would bet this flop, but on a rainbow board you can get away with betting less. Nice result, though.

speaking of piss poor, let's talk about your posts... do you see how other people who aren't lazy as hell post hands? you might want to try that if you want responses... i forced myself to read through this incomprehensible mess because i'm bored as hell - other people with lives won't even attempt.
