Default can you find a fold?

8/16 6-max, playing 5-handed. With this lineup, I couldn't really find a place to fold TP/TK, especially when the two guys putting in all the action were definately LAGgy. I wasn't sure what the button was doing. I put him on either AJ/AK or a medium PP. I thought about raising to knock out players, but dedided this was a WA/WB type situation unless one player had a flush draw which was unlikely. Raising when I was behind sucks for sure, and its not bad to just passively call along here keeping two players likely drawing very thin in the pot.

I raise A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] UTG, UTG1(31/24/2.1 LAG) 3-bets, Button(32/13/2.1) calls, SB folds, BB(35/17/1.6) CAPS, everyone calls.

FLOP: Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

BB Bets, I call(?), UTG1 Raises, button calls, BB calls, I call.

TURN: 2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

BB checks, I check(?), UTG1 bets, button calls, BB calls, I call.

RIVER: 10 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

BB checks, I check(?), UTG1 bets, button folds, BB calls, I call(?)

i guess you feel not raising here is a critical mistake? at any rate, my weak-tightness is due a 500BB slide over the last month or so where I can't seem to play better than 22/18 because the cards & beats have been so ugly. so yeah, my play might suck, thus i posted!

Move down. You should have moved down before the slide got so big (if you noticed that your thought process had deterioated as a result) as your play is being negatively influenced by your bad streak and thus, your bad streak will be worse than it should be.

Raise the flop. This is critical.

It was stated earlier that the BB and the UTG +1 were both LAGs. BB could be capping 87s here, I would not muck here getting bascially 8:1.

I would def. call pf, but why did you call if you don't think you can play aggressively on one of the best flops out there for you?

Also, I think the whole concept of WA/WB against 3 other players is pretty questionable.

Something else to consider. This pot is going to be huge by the end no matter what happens. Getting one of the guys behind to fold the A of spades, a K or a PP for two when they would peel for one is good.

And your seat sucks regardless of how bad SB and CO are. If you can't find a better seat, play some other game or review hands.
