4th or 5th hand of ultimatebet $5 mtt. blind are 5/10

nalakris is at seat 1 with 1500.
konman44 is at seat 2 with 1480.

greg_realtor is at seat 7 with 1490.
Hero is at seat 8 with 1500.

The button is at seat 6.

Hero is in the big blind with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Pre-flop:

sweargin folds. nalakris calls. konman44 folds.
Bkkpoker folds. englishkid19 folds. Anaconda13
calls.
vinnygunz28 folds. greg_realtor calls.
Hero raises to 40. nalakris calls.
Anaconda13 calls. greg_realtor calls.

Pot is 160

Flop: K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

greg_realtor checks. Hero bets 50.
nalakris calls. Anaconda13 raises to 360.
greg_realtor folds. Hero...?

only reasonable hands i'm ahead of are QJ, KJ, JJ, maybe some sort of straight/flush draw. really the only hand i can put him on here are KQ, AJ, pocket tens

what d'yall think?

Raise more preflop, 60-70
Bet more on flop, 2/3rds pot.

As played you failed to thin the field with your small pf raise, with your small bet on the flop it may be someone just running you over with a draw or real strength. The board is super dangerous and you have no idea where you are. I fold here.

i agree i should have bet more on teh flop. i just figured it was such a scary flop, i should find out where i'm at for cheap. although, looking back, such a weak bet could induce a large semibluff-raise from a draw.

if anyone cares, as it went down, i folded, one other guy called. turn, of course, was a jack, river was a 9. they both split the pot with a king high straight. villan had KQ, other guy had freaking K6.
