Common No Limit Situation

People act like calling on the flop commits you to calling most of the times on the turn and river. Does it?

No but it gives away too much information. Or are there any other hands you'd play this way if you are straightforward and tight?

This is a reverse implied odds situation. Raising is problematic because there are several players to act behind us and if one of them wakes up with a hand we're in trouble. Even if one of the 3 players with position on us flat calls the $1800, we can't like our hand very much and will likely have to give up on the turn. Easy fold with little money invested, poor relative position, and a hand with little chance of improvement if beaten.

This is what I have been saying. But it appears that a lot of what people have been saying seems to apply to a heads up vs. BB scenario.

Four other opponents increases the likelyhood of all those other bad hands. There could even be a guy with AK and he's probably not exactly thrilled either unless he has something suited happening.

I remember a segment on TV where they asked poker pros what hands they don't like playing and AQ came up a lot. Actually, even Doyle Brunson has commented on how much can be lost on that hand. And I do believe this is good example of such a situation. With no flush or straight hopes you are drawing to 2 outs for trips and 3 outs for two pair, both of which may not even be good enough.
