    with so many people, there's a really high chance of seeing QT, but at those limits, there's such a high chance they have crap and will call with it, that i think you gotta push.
    i betcha that i got something you ain't got, that's called courage, it don't come from no liquor bottle, it ain't scotch

    push and raise .20 pre flop

    Suggestion. Play NL25 or better. In those parts a 5x's bb raise means a little more.

    People are less inclined to call with crap.

    raise more preflop, dont minraise the flop,

    Heres what happens when you don't raise preflop and min bet the flop...won't be doing that again! No idea what I was thinking!!

    Thanks, i was expectin a few callers with the $.10 raise (5bb), hoping to get TPTK and get some chips from TPLK or even middle pair(like i prolly woulda got had it just been me and Kblu). I probably shoulda raised $.25 though, then i could feel alot better about a flop like that, and pry alot more from TPLK.

    Thanks for the advice. That hand might have drove me away from ring games for a bit, but ill try to remember this if i wanna break from sng's
