Hey sluttysteve,
Since I said I would respond, here it is ...

Played fine on every street. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Seriously, I like your play here. The only question here is whether to raise the turn or not, but BB is playing like he has AA, JJ or possibly AJ. I like calling him down in case he is overplaying something like KK, QQ.

Great. Before SSH I would've check/called the flop instead of doing the right thing. I'll wait for a few more responses (hopefully) before I post results.

With 4 people seeing the flop, you are getting more out of the money you put in the pot than what you are putting in, and you are drawing to the royal (1 out), nut straight (3 outs), nut flush (8 outs), and 2 overcards (6 actual outs, maybe worth 2 given the action).

So, a ~14 outer.

You can't not cap the flop with 4 people in it, and you can't not see the river - most of your outs are to the nuts.

I would have probably raised the turn(Value on the draws, you aren't folding out a set, but weaker hands that can hit a second pair may well fold but would have done everything else the same. If the 4 people stay in the pot, for every 1BB you "invest" you are gaining 1.04BB of equity in the pot, and someone folding increases your equity more. You will hit the nuts 26% of the time, add in the implied odds, and that raising slightly increases your chance of winning, you can't not raise here.

Final Pot: 21 BB

Results in white below: 
BB has Qd Qc (two pair, queens and tens).
UTG+1 has Jh Kh (two pair, jacks and tens).
Hero has As Qs (two pair, aces and tens).
Outcome: Hero wins 21 BB. 

Was pleasantly surprised, UTG+1's lead flop bet of the turn led me to believe he made trip tens, but of course I couldn't fold.
