Party 5/10: AQ TPTK

Jeff W · #1 12-19-2005, 01:02 AM

Thanks for the replies, as I figured, I played stupid. I really need to fold when UTG calls $240 because he will usually have a monster. I can't worry about BB because if it were HU against him I'd be pot committed despite his bizarre sub-minraise(which btw should have been another indicator to fold).

Hopefully I'll learn to avoid these ~$650 mistakes before my bankroll runs out.

raise PRE FLOP...in this position you HAVE to you are out of position...and i would never check this flop against this many people, i have to see where my hand stands, I top pair with top kicker, it may be good enough, I bet 100% time in this situation and if run into resistance from one or more i usually fold.

Isn't this an argument AGAINST raising?

Why must you bet to figure out where you stand? Can't you read hands without betting? It's a lot cheaper to check and then fold after you see people go nuts than it is to bet and fold after you see people go nuts. And if you are planning to fold to any resistance then you might as well be on a total bluff here, and bluffing into a big field of limpers is usually a bad idea.

You realize this is full ring with EP limpers, right? I'm not looking for a big pot in this spot.
