Default Re: good spot to CB w AQs??

You could be right. It just seems better to check in a spot where you could very easily get check raised and not be too thrilled about getting it in.

I know lots of people would have no problem calling a shove/shoving if raised. But it seems like mediocre hands (1 pair) will call you, which is fine, but when raised I have trouble distinguishing if it's from a set or a draw and against people who you don't have a good read on, it's near impossible to tell and i'm generally inclined to fold to figure i'm up against a 2pair/set hand as opposed to a weaker draw.

So to avoid a difficult decision I still prefer to check here.

you aren't going to be c/r by a draw with this many people seeing the flop. Just bet and see what happens. Push over any raises. Pretty simple. You should very comfortable getting it all in on this flop as this is very standard.

also by checking this flop you are giving up a lot of your hand equity and also allowing others to catch random hands that will bet the turn when they would have folded the flop.

i like a check behind here

i would be more inclined to bet something like K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] because i don't mind getting raised off of it as much
