5/10 Full Tilt 88 in multiway pot as overpair

[Lunar Tweak]

felt like folding the flop because i don't have the 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] and it could get raised behind me. raising also occured to me and is probably better then calling. i also thought i should fold the turn since BB is suppose to have a big hand to bet into 5 players.

thanks for your time.

I like every street.

It's certainly bad news when BB leads into a big field twice but the pot is rather large...

[WalkAmongUs]

I'd play it the same

[James.]

i would raise preflop.

especially given the game.

the rest i mix my play between raising the flop(which i would usually do) and waiting for the turn(which i would do a significant minority of the time).

[Bob T.]

The only question, is whether or not to raise the flop, or the 'safe' turn. I like the turn raise, and other than that, I don't think there is anything to discuss here.

[Sykes]

so turn raise is a bluff, right?

[Bob T.]

I thought it was a value bet.

[chucktaylor]

I raise the flop here every time.

[Lucky_River]

to many Overcards can came on the Turn. I think not to raise the flop is a mistake.

While I'm sure that is profitable, I think you will find that waiting in big pots with vulnerable hands until the turn (assuming a good card falls) to raise is more profitable.
