I would be more careful with the bottom straight. I am not saying I won’t take it all the way but I wouldn’t go AI right off the bat. QJ is a fairly common hand to play. If anyone was dealt it, you can bet they are playing it (well, 10 calls so…yeah).

Nice table selection.

Wow.. talk about an action flop. Despite there being 2 bumps preflop, 5 people make it to the flop and have 2 pair (top and bottom), bottom straight, AA, middle set, and overpair+OESD. :)

This reminds me of a LONG time ago when I saw a HH that went something like this: 4 way flop that comes down 742 rainbow. All 4 get it all-in on the flop, AA, 77, 44, 22 all get flipped over. Turn is an A. River a blank. AA covers and stacks 3 people. Of course that is something you probably only see once in your life..

Hmmm critique of the hand...

Truthfully I don't like the preflop call even at these stakes and 2 callers in front from the small blind, especially on a table where, like you said, money is just getting thrown around. The fact that you don't close the action makes this a worse call I think. The second bump you close the action and are just getting irresistable odds, you close the action, but are looking for a miracle flop or to get out.

On the flop, absolutely no question, all-in here every time. If somebody calls with JQ (or god forbid, J7), say nh and move on. This is such a dangerous flop in so many ways but you lack position and you almost certainly have the best hand, so get all your chips in the middle and hope for the best.

It's friday night. Friday the 13th at that. Maybe there is even a full moon, although I don't care to check a lunar calendar to find out. The point is EXPECT ACTION!

Sick hand. I like a CR all in on that flop. Given the preflop action and 5 players to the flop, you can be almost 100% sure there'll be action if you check.
