Giving 3 people a free card will probably turn out to be a bad idea.

5 kicker eeek, why play that crap in the first place.

1-Yea don't play this IMO

2- Make some bet to see where you stand. People are not going to call anything anyway.

Yes, horrid preflop call. I don't know if I had a reason, or if this was just another example of bad decisions when playing too many tables.

Thanks for semi-ignoring that and replying to the question at hand. I'm assuming answers would be similar if I'd held a more reasonable hand like AJo?

I think I would bet like you did, given your bad kicker. I find it difficult to slowplay hands without top kicker.

Ex: I had K:diamond: J:diamond: and limp to find a K:heart:K:spade:7:club: flop. I bet the pot and get one caller, I bet the pot on the turn (2:club:) and he calls again. What then on the river (Q:spade:)? All in? Medium bet? Mini bet? What hands would call me twice here?

Jeffrey - it seems from your recent posts that you play more tables that you can handle. You probably have a lot more poker experience than I do, but things like Ax offsuit really should not be played from MP, and if it is, as you say, a result of multi-tabling, then I don't know if multitabling is a very good idea.

Dan, you're precisely right. All of the hands I've been posting come from a series of mistakes I made while 4 tabling for the first time in an effort to clear a $125 bonus over the weekend. Cleared it, but cost myself more due to play like this than I made in the bonus.

So yes...I'm done 4 tabling for a long time. Honestly, I'm surprised to see this slip through though, as one thing that was true of my multitabling is that I was incredibly tight across the board, with a VP$IP of around 18%. I guess stupid calls leaked through even then...

i hate being in situations like this. i don't know the odds of someone have a better trip, but its happened to me with my blind hands a few times recently. puts you in a really tough spot, because the odd of someone else having it are so low, but if you have action what else are they really gonna have, and its not like i'm gonna start folding from the BB.
