I think you played it fine. Sometimes I raise preflop.

How much worse is it to not fold in this spot? To me, it looks much more likely that SB has a Q than a 5, or could even be making a play on this flop. He's moderately aggro, and could be checkraising to protect a marginal (including TP) hand. I'd expect him to try trapping a little more with trips, as the board is dry.

If not folding, is the next best thing to push, or would it be to call the flop, and see what he does on the turn?

Why are we not betting this flop?

Given your bad call preflop (raise) you should fold. You should have seen the flop with less callers, and then bet at him.

Because he has no idea where he stands. He would be raising if he'd shown strenth PF, but he didn't.

no, i think pushing is the worst option. you'll get no value from worse hands, and there are no draw to protect. its either a call or fold.

That's what I thought, but the title of the post didn't ask about calling [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img].

Anyway, would anyone call this? Another point about this hand is that we've underrepresented its strength before the flop.
