depending on who limped I sometimes raise this pf

i would bet pot on this flop

if I were to check it I would fold to the bet and raise

Definitely bet out here. Let's say you bet, CO raises, and button reraises. This is such an easy fold. When they bet and raise in front of you, you *might* be ahead, but it will probably cost a stack to find out, and that's a bad situation.

I personally think this is a fold, possibly a call which is still bad. But I think a raise only will get called by much stronger hands.

I concur...

Sometimes I will raise AQ preflop from the SB.

Most of the time I will bet the pot on the flop...but I thought there was a good chance the aggros behind me would 1) bluff or 2) make a legitimate bet with QJ-type of hand...so in my mind I was c/r when it got back to me.

The bet/raise certainly made it interesting though...

Bet raise in front of you in an unraised pot is generally a clear fold.

Lead the flop, as played it looks as if you're crushed. Easy fold IMO

Re: NL $100...big check re-reraise w/ tptk
 

You have TPTK in a 5 way unraised pot, followed by a pot bet and a 4X raise = easiest fold ever.

jesus, extreme overplay with TPTK imo. unless you have a great read that button is a moron, i probably fold to button's reraise. given that you 3-bet, calling the push is a no brainer.

i also lead flop initially. leading this flop is much much better than c/r. doesnt blow it up as much, and your almost guarenteed to play for your stack if you c/r this flop whereas if you lead, you have the options of calling/folding/etc on the flop or future streets depending on your opponents/etc.

I'm not a big fan of your check raise here. Let's say button didn't reraise &amp; just called $5, then you spring your c/r and make it $20 to go. You are just building big pot with TPTK OOP. You'll have to bet most of your stack on the Turn and Call the rest off on the River even if a scarey card hit.

What was the rational for your line?

Re: NL $100...big check re-reraise w/ tptk
 

And a check-raise here completely blows up this pot faster than we can control. Let's say you check-raise normally, to like 18 dollars or so. You have to follow up with about a 30 dollar bet, and anything on the river is a reasonable bet. Even if you check on the turn, you will get bet into a lot of the time by anyone who calls.
