$22 AQ in LP after two limpers

Kazimyrch · #1 06-12-2007, 01:43 PM

I have 2 limpers in front of me. I want to know where I am in case someone limps with AK. If he calls my raise I can play the flop different. I found his line quite strong and decided to slow down after he called flop bet. I get great odds on the river, but it seems to be kinda suck bet. I would appreciate opinions on both preflop and postflop action.

I would limp preflop and try to see a cheap flop
As played i would check behind flop, and bet turn 200,
river is a call, you will see often KQ QJ Q10. if he had a hand he would bet more on the river

pf - good
flop - bet more than 1/2 pot for a c-bet
turn - i dont mind continuning to bet, i cant imagine too many hands ahead of you. villian will probably call some more becuase he is not going to think the Q helped you.
river - fine, you could raise too. villian played this hand like 88 or 99

I would limp preflop but raising to thin the field is fine too.As played I make the conti bet a little bit bigger,about 160.On the turn I like a 300 bet.

I agree. In fact, villain had 55, locking the hand on the flop already.
