It would have been nice if you have said that you looked left on the flop and saw that both blinds were folding, like they do in mid-high when they post these b&m hands.

If you dont, then you have to raise to protect your hand.

I like your turn and river play though.

that's how i'd play it too, but I'm a wimp.

i raise this flop most of the time, i am in good position to knock out hands that have outs against me like overcards/gutshots and my hands is usually good here...

Without the aid of reads, raise the flop.

Sorry--
I left out an important piece of info which is that both blinds were telegraphing a fold (in fact SB folded out of turn). What do you all think of the turn? If a blank had come, would you pop it...does the 7 make you fold?

[River2Pair]

So was this 6/12, 12/24, or 6/12 kill? Because I saw it posted in mid-high as 12/24. I think there is a difference in how hands play out in a 6/12 kill pot than in a straight 12/24 (if such a thing exists).

Yikes...I guess I'm caught. The actual hand was 12/24 at California Grand but I wasn't sure if that was too high a limit for this forum and anyway, the play is much like a 6/12 limit game.
