What don't you like about limping on the button with Q9s five handed? It was hard to get these guys to fold after they put money in the pot, so a raised didn't seem positive. But against 3 opponents with 20xBB stacks, seemed worth a flop.


This is one of the few hands I have played that I really had to think about in some time.

It had not been very aggressive, so his good sized bet in 1st positions really made me pause.

I realize that this flop is good, I just couldn't decide the risk vs. reward here.

I had most of these guys out chipped 2:1. I had 44x the BB, folding wouldn't really hurt me, winning would give me a stronger position, but is it that much stronger? Losing it would suck.

I went ahead and folded, if I raised, I would be forced to call an all-in and it seemed a little much to flat call.
