5/10 Full Tilt 88 in multiway pot as overpair

[invictus33]

Raise the flop because we face a lot of the field with 2 cold and can thin out some draws and over cards. There are still some blanks and cards that can help us so it's not like we're dead in the water just yet. I'm raising to help out my equity because I think we're ahead a lot of the time here and I want to push my edge.

I guess you could fold and over pair as well, but I tend to like that kind of hand. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

While people are mentioning that there are too many dangerous cards to come on the turn, it seems like everyone's forgotten BB just raised in a 234,849 way pot, even online is this ever worse than KQ?

Maybe it's just because I'm a showdown monkey but I can't really lay an overpair down, and if I'm behind I'd rather do the raising while it's cheap.(getting 3bet costs you half as much if you do it on the flop)

I hate to just repeat myself but...

1) The pot is huge. Everybody is getting the odds to draw even with our raise. That is why we wait for the turn because raising the big street cuts down on their odds plus a double big bet just looks scarier.

2) If you think we have an equity edge now on the flop that edge will be much much higher on the turn if a good card falls.
