Default Textbook hand, I don\'t know what I\'m doing.

They're typical loose-bad players. I am also a loose-bad player. I lost a big pot in the previous orbit felting aces because I suck. Any input on this hand is greatly appreciated!

Hero: $11.90
Button: $21.60
SB: $17.80
BB: $7.80

Pot Limit Omaha Ring game
Blinds: $0.05/$0.10

Pre-flop: (6 players) hero is CO with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
2 folds, <font color="#cc0000">hero raises to $0.35</font>, Button calls, SB calls, BB calls.

Flop: Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] ($1.4, 4 players)

preflop: OK
flop: check behind, you don't have a big draw and it's highly unlikely that you can make 3 players fold...

fold for the c/r

I agree with checking behind on the flop. A lot of players at these limits will check their strong hands to the PFR planning on check-raising his cont. bet. If you check behind you get a free card and can bust a set or top 2 that wont believe a 9 helped you.

I don't like potting that flop, somewhere around .75 is good because if u get checkraised u can continue w/ the hand, as is, it looks like u're up against a set and ur not getting odds, i probably fold here, but folding &gt; raising &gt; calling.

Your bet on the flop is OK, maybe a check is better but its close.

After his raise a fold is safe, a call is fun.
If you have to worry about the money get a job.

i like to keep my contiuation bets around the same size for the same reasons mentioned above. something like $1 here would be good. I check here a good amount of the time and take a free card.
