5/10 JTs

I know I probably should have folded preflop but figured I was getting good multiway action with one of the best drawing hands for this kind of pot. After that how is my play?

I think pre-flop is fine. I'd fold the turn when it's 2 more bets back to you though. With all that action pre-flop, and all those broadway cards on the board along with all the turn action, it looks like you are drawing dead.

The rest is fine. Folding at any point before the river would be bad. You even have outs against a possible boat.

how often do you think hero has the best hand if he hits a 10?

didn't notice the straight flush draw, hence, we're not drawing dead, we're drawing to 2 outs, unless there is a high hand jackpot, still not enough to continue, IMO.

Looking at it again, I guess one the villains will have a full house here a very high percentage of the time.

I retract my statement.

I stuck around because it was an openended straightflush draw.

Funny thing is I had the best hand on the flop, AK ended up taking it home.

How often would you raise JTs in early MP with more than half the table left to act? This may be a good play on passive tables, but in any situation where your called you mostly OOP and likely facing a stronger hand than you.

I think I would limp as well or fold. However I may be too tight.

Anyone like raising on the flop?

This is read-dependant, I guess. Without reads it's probably a close decision. I tend to err on the side of raising, when it's close, since a lot of good things can happen, when you raise.

It's true that someone calling often will have a stronger hand. It's by no means a certainty, though, even at 5/10. Also, there are some hands that dominate you, that tight players will either corectly or incorrectly fold to your raise (like AJ, AT, KJ, QJ and others).

I don't think limping is such a bad play, I just prefer to raise.
