I hate big pots with TPTK

[Galapogos]

I never feel comfortable in these kinds of pots. I know it seems like a kinda standard hand but I want to fine tune these spots. Anything I should be doing different?

... anyone?

No reads? Shambo1 called the blind and the preflop bet, the flop bet and the all in raise without raising. Dead Money? Consider a re-raise here to put shambo1 all in for the side pot.

If it's typical to get 4 callers on this table at 5x I'd re-raise more pre-flop to something in the range of $8-12 to get heads up.

whats he got A9, Q9? JTclubs in a blue moon? Either way ur behind. Ur gettin like 3 to 1 (90 for 30) + some dead. are u 33% to win? mostly no fold.

Why did you raise the flop?

As played, just stick the rest in and gamble.

Wow, I missed that. I should have put Shambo1 all-in for the rest of his stack there as he was obviously chasing the flush. Kinda stupid of me actually. Thanks.
