Since it's a 6 way pot it's very unlikely you either have the best hand or end up with the best hand so it's best to fold the flop. Raising is terrible but live and learn.

and a lot of learning i am doing.

Really? I'm not too into folding suited connectors preflop.

The only reason to fold it might be because he's in EP and building a pot - giving others odds to call.

Otherwise, I don't think it's that bad.

Postflop play is bad - no reason to raise with so many others left to act.

I don't fold this preflop either.

[/ QUOTE ] This isn't true because we aren't really playing a RIO hand. If alot of people see the flop the only time you give lots of action is if you flop a good draw or made hand.

If you overlimp QJs up front, it's not because you're looking to flop top pair with nothing else. That said, I don't think raising is horrible, depending on how the other players play. It's certainly better than calling, which is totally awful here. Seeing that many limpers after you limped is pretty much ideal, but the flop is very meh.

Wow...

Lots of nitty responses here.

Let me give you mine - I thought you played this hand just fine, if your read on EP was anything other than a super-nit. EP bet coulda been a FD protecting, Qx, small set, etc., etc.,......

Betting here about the size of the pot really wasn't a bad play at all - and let me tell you why....

To fold this playable hand pre-flop is silly nitty and the implied odds paid off - giving you a nice pot with little risk - regardless of the texture of the flop.

So considering we are in the hand..... you hit TPNK, so dumping to the weak EP bet is certainly an option here, but should be read-dependent.

If you feel you have any chance of being ahead here, or even better, have a range on EP and think you can outplay that range by asserting a better range with a large bet to his blank on the turn........then betting is the right move.

Floating is dangerous and just a bad play in this spot, for obvious reasons.....

So your choice to bet was not at all bad.

Didn't work out this time, but postflop aggression to define yours or your opponent's hand is what separates good players from ABC stags.

Well played.

[jessyj07]

Believe it or not there are times to not be aggressive in poker and it's not because people are nitty.
