Fairly passive table.

Party Poker 3/6 Hold'em (10 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is UTG with 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
Hero calls, 4 folds, MP3 calls, CO calls, Button calls, 1 fold, BB checks.

Flop: (5.33 SB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (5 players)
BB checks, Hero checks, MP3 checks, CO checks, Button checks.

Turn: (2.66 BB) A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (5 players)
BB checks, Hero bets, . . .

Thoughts?

Any card but the Ace I bet. If the flop were QQ7 I bet. If the flop were 952 I bet. Here I check.

Betting any card but an Ace was exactly my plan. But when the Ace fell there was some disconect between my brain and hand and I bet anyway. I posted because I was wondering whether this was terrible, merely bad, neutral or OK.

If you dont flop a set you should fold with almost everyhand
I think you won this hand due to you posting it and so obviously screams fold.
It is the best to check and fold these hands even if you won this one.

It's terrible, the only possible way to play is to raise another bettor but that's a slim chance as well... /v

I'm not so sure. With all those limpers, I think any Ace or face means MHING.

I guess you missed Clark's thread.

This is pretty weak tight. Ya gotta tussle, homie.

Is it OK to bet the flop instead? Since the table is passive?

Against 4 opponents, on a passive table, in a very small pot, I am check/folding this hand on all streets with no set.
