Not sure if I had to bet the flop.

<font color="red">SB bets $5</font>, <font color="red">UTG raises to $20</font>, Hero calls $20, SB folds
Here I flat call hoping that SB either call or re-pop, UTG's raise already commited him to pot so I focuse on remaining player's money.
Comments welcome on hand.

You have to bet the flop. Your obviously want to play a big pot here, the best way to get money in it (the only way when you have position and are checked to) is to bet! I will let others comment on the turn play /images/graemlins/smile.gif

i would make a 1/2 pot bet for a few reasons:

1. cheap enough for most people with middle pair and/or a draw to call and will almost certainly get a call from top pair.

2. reasonably disguised as a continuation bet.

3. likely induces a reraise from jt/kj hands.

bet flop. tons of cards to kill your action/etc.

just shove the turn. flat calling and hoping other guy will shove might be an idea too.

BET THE FLOP, any broadway card will kill your action as does a nine here, flat call on turn not bad as there is only one flush draw out there, but meh push it good somehwere

I bet the flop and shove the turn. If they are interested in a pot in which you hold the nuts well hey, let them go crazy.

I don't like calling with AQ with possible callers behind. If the table is loose pf i usually repop to get it HU IP against the original villain.
As played, BET THE FLOP! Does big hands in big pots ring a bell? /images/graemlins/wink.gif Value-shove the turn pls.
