Re: Queens getting squeezed after A-high flop?
[ QUOTE ]
I don't like the flop check.Especially w/o the Qh, you have only 1 or 2 outs if behind and are giving flush draws a free card.

-You have odds to call a c/r if both of your set outs are good
-Giving flush draws a free card really isn't that big a deal since they never fold anyway
-An A high flop is especially likely to hit someone
-There is a non-negligible chance you get bluff c/r'ed by the LAG and now have to pay 3BB to show down on this board.
Betting this flop is just silly. I also don't like a turn raise (though I dislike it less); there's only one player left who has given no indication whatsoever that his hand is even relevant to the board, and it opens us up to a 3bet that we really won't know how to react to. If UTG was a straightforward player and we could fold to all future aggression I could dig raise/freeshowdown.
EDIT: oops, HJ is still in the hand. Raising looks a lot better, especially since if SB or HJ had an a they would have probably bet by now.
