Default $1,000 Live QQ First level

Blinds are 25/50, 10k starting stacks.

I'm not entirely sure on stack sizes, but I think I had picked up a couple pots so I had the table lead, but were all still relatively close.

I'm UTG+1 with QQ and raise to 150. I get 6 callers (maybe I should raise more?)

Flop comes 358r

Your play?

someone want to explain check folding?

i mean, more often than not no one has a set, and it could easily get checked around, and 6 people seeing a free card is bound to hurt us.

Bet fold makes sense, cause peopel dont raise here light, but i think you can get it it heads up or 3 way vs ranges that dont kill your hand by betting. We'll have to play cautiously on the turn, but seems way better than just giving up...

the problem with checking isn't that it can get checked around, it's that if somebody bets you should probably call, but then get lost on the turn. so c/f is probably better than c/c. but is betting like 600 into a 1k pot with an obv overpair really going to get called more than 33%? probably not, so I'd go ahead and just bet and shut down when called unless the guy that called the bet looks like a super live clown.

Yeah, I don't get check/folding at all here. Obviously, we don't want to get stacks in here with an overpair in a 6-way pot, but I'd definitely C-bet for 500 or 600.

Okay I bet ~500, folds to CO who calls, BTN makes it 1,500 action to me.


The BTN prior to the hand said something about how he was calling with any 2 because there were so many callers and he was getting such good odds. The CO was a 40-something Brit who seemed relatively competent, the BTN was a 30-something white guy.

Go ahead and fold here?

Oh and stacks were >10k at the start of this hand, I had probably 15k-ish after taking a few pots, CO maybe had 13k and BTN had 11k.
