Not sure how I played this flop

[me454555]

Party Poker 1/2 (10 handed)

No particular reads on anyone b/c they haven't done anything too interesting since I sat down.

Hero has 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and is Button

MP2 limps, CO limps, Hero limps, SB limps, UTG checks

Flop(5 SB): T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

SB checks, UTG bets, MP2 raises, CO calls, Hero folds, SB folds, UTG folds

I'm not really sure how I played this. After a bet and a raise, I was afraid my flush outs might not be good. I was getting 5:1 on the imidiate bet + implied odds but the bet and raise, scared me away from getting trapped.

Turn(5 BB): 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

MP2 checks, CO bets, MP2 calls

River(7 BB): 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

MP2 checks, CO bets, MP2 calls

Comments and critiques appreciated

Fold pre flop, with 2 limpers you arnt really getting the oddds to play a hand like this.

What flop were you waiting for? 456 of hearts? You got your flush draw, play it. Generally a flush draw doesnt raise to shut out the entire field, so I dunno why the raise made you think flush draw.

I disagree that this is a fold PF.

Once you get that flop, you are going to the river.

I'm weak, but there's no way I fold that hand in that spot getting 5:1.

[Saborion]

Why fold pre? Because he's not getting enough odds to call? His excellent position doesn't turn this hand into a limp?

pf limp is fine. Flop fold is horrible, IMO.

I would be almost hoping to get trapped on the flop with 3 opponents. The raise gives you absolutely no reason to believe your flush would not be good. Besides that, two of the higher hearts are already on the board, including the Ace.

Which outs were you worried about? Are you saying that you were afraid that you were up against a higher flush draw? There are exactly 4 cards in the deck that can give someone a higher flush draw. most likely you are up against some high cards (top pair, two pair, etc). I would ever argue that you should raise in your position for value.

You can't be scared and play good poker, especially on the flop.

Your pre-flop call is fine.

why play 87s in the first place? you *might* be up against a higher flush draw....but you flopped a draw for your hand.... don't get rid of it now.

This hand plays best multyway, he's only got 2 people in the hand with him, the BB will make 3. He could very easily end up with a draw on the turn and not even have the pot odds to call it. Where is you're cut off, are you playing 34s in this spot?

This was a textbook limp according the hepfap
