i bet 500 into the pot on the flop, and not putting in any more than that.

[drmcboy]

pre flop I would raise more or even limp, this just builds the pot.

I would call flop and see if he bets turn, wtf is that bet. No hand bets that. If he checks turn you can push the river, or you spike an A.

[Fnord]

Do you pay attention to your oppoents or just play 8 tables?

[kstarm]

preflop: I would do similar. possibly, depending on reads I may limp this OOP.

Flop: With two callers I'm checking the flop. c-betting 600 is an option but you dont have many cards to improve with if you get called and you have to fold to any raise. After the raise I fold. 400 seems like a small bet but not in relation to villians stack size. I think villian is committed if you decide to push over the raise. 2400 is a nice amount of chips to play with especially with two shorties at the table-you should have a good chance to money.

I think your play was fine

[fdnypoker]

I limp and try to trap if favorable flop. Scared of the shorties coming in over the top with any hand...

As played I would say it was fine

[taipan168]

I make it 500 to go preflop. Ideally you want to get HU on the flop or take it down preflop since you're OOP.

As played, I would c-bet 800 on the flop and give up if called, although I'm not delighted to c-bet into 2 players. If you have to give up you still have 1600 behind which is still OK at 50/100 blinds.

[FlyingSaucy]

to me position is the dominating factor with this hand preflop.
given you are oop post flop and both limpers are decently stacked, i don't mind a limp preflop and go to a 4 way flop. If you hit an A or Q on an otherwise non-dangerous flop, I'd open bet it. If you completely miss, I'd just check/fold.

I think 500 is too little to bet into 1300 pot, if was betting it will be at least 1/2 pot, probably 2/3

pre flop I would raise more or even limp, this just builds the pot.

I think limping AQ is a bit too weak, I would probably limp AJ

I dont agree that 4BB raise is building the pot, 5BB may have been better, but 4BB can thin out the field considerably

I would call flop and see if he bets turn, wtf is that bet. No hand bets that. If he checks turn you can push the river, or you spike an A.

My problem with this line is that there is still one villian to act behind me, and he is priced in to call with almost anything when I call, and I am out of position, so I think my better options are raising or folding

Do you pay attention to your oppoents or just play 8 tables?

Angler was pretty active but showed the goods on showdown (set, TPTK)
louis was tight and won a major pot on a steal attempt with J8s that turned into a hand

It was still pretty early in the Sng (probably about 15 hands in)

I think villian is committed if you decide to push over the raise. 2400 is a nice amount of chips to play with especially with two shorties at the table-you should have a good chance to money.

I dont think villian is commited, he will still have over 10BB if he folds, but I think he either has a monster or air

As played, I would c-bet 800 on the flop and give up if called, although I'm not delighted to c-bet into 2 players. If you have to give up you still have 1600 behind which is still OK at 50/100 blinds.

I think it is a marginal call between checking and c-betting, and considering the two villians have the stacks to hurt me I am not sure c-betting is the better line, K is a real possibility when two players call 4BB raise preflop

With 4 people seeing the flop I am not thrilled about leading OOP even if I hit TP, 4 way I would want at least two pair, and I think I am giving away a lot of value by limping AQ

[dsmrolla06]

The only thing i do different is raise to 500 pf.

[Fortune 500]

I think the hand was played fine. I don't limp many hands at 50/100, and AQ is fine to raise. I do agree that it should have been raised to 500, as I tend to stick to a strict formula of 3xBB+1 per limper.

Given the calling party that ensued with your raise, I think PF is fine.

Information like this is under-rated. Easy flop bet against these guys.

[Sprayed]

Raise to 500 preflop and c-bet flop. Big little little flops are good flops to bet.
