Really?
That sort of sucks. I always wished you would post more...
Good luck to you too! You need it way less than I do though. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

At first I was going to write that I thought this line was rediculous, but now I'm not so sure. What was your intention on the flop is someone behind you bet and it folded to you, checkraise? After spending a lot of time looking at it I like the way that you played it.

If LP bets and it folds around to me I'll raise.
If LP bets and it's called by the blinds I'll raise. (but not happily)
If there's a bet and a raise before me I fold.
I don't even mind C/Ring a LP bet all-in if I think he's the WSOP, I can make big calls type.

Frankly though, I don't know how wise this is. It may be that I should just call a single bet (especially if its from the guy to my immediate left) and play the hand for value. Bah...

I hate this hand BTW, TPTK 7 way with a FD on the board in an unraised pot is a terrible spot.

I dislike betting the flop because if raised I have no idea where I stand, making the hand pretty hard to play. Also, I like to have some information on my opponents holdings before betting, and currently I have none. However, I can definitely think of some alternate lines that involve betting the flop.

Well, I make this play a lot, although not from this position at a 10 handed table. If it's average to above average aggressive, I'll muck AQo in this spot.

I probably bet the flop here, because I only see one broadway card, and there are some draws. But check/calling isn't bad, and is often the best line. Especially once you get to the turn with that many players still in the pot.

I think you really need to define your hand here, i like a flop bet.

Im embarrassed to post how I'd play the hand. Makes me feel like I've been getting lucky over my last 3000 sit and gos.

Ok but please note that Im embarrassed everytime I do this when I flop a good top pair type of hand into a big field in a sit and go.

I would check the flop, and I would fold to the 90 chip bet on the turn.
