Default Q 10 suited in large multiway pot

Originally posted in BBV. Want to see what you all think. Flame away.

Very loose, passive game. $3/6 Live. Most pots have been very large, so when i get Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 10[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] in middle position, i call the live straddle. I generally dont mind playing a hand like this if i know its going to be a large multiway pot.

So, preflop went something like: Live straddle, call, call, call, call, 3-bet, call, Cap, call, call, call, call... 8-9 players to flop with the cap. Beautiful.

Flop: 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Great... I bet my gutshot and backdoor flush and overcards.

Late position raises, almost everyone calls the 2 bets, maybe one fold. This is monster pot.

Turn: J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

I bet my nut straight, with straight flush redraws, ~ 4-5 ppl call.

River: 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Haha, suckers, no one hit their diamonds. I bet, ~ 4 ppl call, pot over $150 in 3/6 not bad, ship it.

comments all streets appreciated.

Is it wrong to check/call this flop and then see what develops on the turn and river?

betting is for value as you probably have an equity advantage. Someone would have to pokerstove it, but I'd guess you have a pretty sizeable advantage against random hands.

my main questions were: 1) is leading out on flop standard? normally i would just check call. 2) anyone try to checkraise turn?

meh. the pots huge and you want people with a single bare overcard to find a fold somehow. If no one folds, you probably have an equity edge.

No. Hopefully you get raised and can threebet.

I can't answer 1 since I asked a similar question, but you can't C/R the turn, especially after describing the table as passive. I also feel that if you check-raise the turn, those who are trapped in are most definitely chasing the flush anyway, so you stand to lose a value bet or you build a huge pot you potentially lose on the river. I say just bet it for value.

On the turn hero has the mortal nut.

I think trying to cr the turn may be possible. The players are passive, but there are two flush draws and a straight draw out there so someone should be interested in betting.

If they do bet then it depends on hero's position to them, remaining players to act, and his/her confidence level in their own hand being good. If there is the equivilant of what would have been in the pot with no cr, then a cr may get cold callers to fold. This makes the pot amount about the same but less players to catch something on the river.

But this is only as I determine how the players I can not see would play, ymmv.

3rd-5th streets are played as I would have. Your pre-flop is bad. The straddle means you should be playing tighter, as you need to invest more best pre-flop. If I understand correctly you also had to call 2 more best on the back end, and IMHO thats just a good example why cold calling 2 bets vs a straddle with QTs is a long term losing move.

As stated earlier, good post flop play.
