Bodog 215.00, I don't know how to play this AsJs early - kinda common

[People_Mover]

Played the 215.00 on Bodog and maybe I'm just running bad or playing bad, I don't know, but this situation keeps coming up:

Blinds 20/40, 3K starting stack, 4 limp to me in the SB with AsJs and I complete? I don't know if this is weak or not or if I should be raising pre here.

FLOP: A Q 2r, checks around, I guess I should lead there, but my hand is basically face up when i lead into 5 people.
Turn: J - I lead 240 into 300, now MP makes it 840 and I call?

River 4 - I check/call 1500 and get shown K 10 obv. I mean, I feel like I'm letting my opponents play perfect or I'm just sucky. I don't know, but it's like I forgot how to play poker. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

what's the right way to play this?

I've never played on Bodog but I hear the standard is very poor so I think my default here would be to bump it pf and go from there depending on how many call.

I don't think a limp complete is that bad if you suspect that you'll have to over-raise to narrow the field at all and then play a really big pot OOP.

As played, just lead the flop. It turns your hand face up, sure. You still get called by a ton of worse hands and worse aces will never fold.

I've played a few MTTs on Bodog and one thing that I've learned is that you really need to protect your hands here.

There are alot of LAG donks who will be min-raising you with gutshots, and backdoor flush draws.

In a situation like this I would make it atleast 200 PF and take down the blinds. If you get a call bet the flop hard.

Limp is fine since even like 300 @ Bodog still gets 2 callers who put you on AK.

Lead the flop because Qx will call anyway.
