I'm not sure why I raised so little on the flop, I guess SB's minbet was a success. SB minrr'd pf, minbet/3-bet shoved the flop, easy call? How much do you raise or do you just call? If I just call the flop I don't think I can play for stacks anymore but is that necessarily a bad thing? PF comments appreciated too.

I really don't like to call this flop.
His line's really odd but I don't think I would fold this.

I think your raise amount on the flop is just fine. Your getting close to 2-1 on the call. I usually pass in these situations so early, but that doesn't make it a bad call.

I don't like your line. I would fold to the open bet pf, although as played I would call the small pf raise.

The main reason I fold pf is is when you're up against AK and flop an Ace. It is early, so it is ok to fold AQ pf to a lot of action (early in a game I fold to any bet 2xbb or more w/ AQ).

As played fold the flop AI. SB has been the aggressor since pf through a bunch of callers, and continued on the flop. If you knew he was a maniac than that could justify a call, but otherwise fold for the numerous better spots ahead [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I don't like raising this flop because of SBs play pf. He might be weak but its really hard to put him on a hand, so I think I like trying to get to a showdown as cheaply as possible. I call and reevaluate later on, if by only calling you get a ton of callers I think thats a lot better than raising and having to call a shove from SB.

This was probably unfair to those of you who don't know the current state of Party [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] I called and SB had Q6s. Hard to say what they have here on avg tho.

[beserious]

Lol. Also, given the donkish min-raise pf and min-bet on the flop, I think it's fair to put any Ax in his range.

I fold pf, it's early and just in case someone decides to raise behind me. As played SB seems like a retard get it in on the flop.

EDIT: I miss party
