    what is your strategy question?

    the BB had T8 right?

    On the flop you call is giving your opponents more than 4:1 call.

    you dont want to go nuts, but raising to $1.5 would probably be a good way to play it, or pushing if people have been showing a willingness to call.

    No, No.... Just a few im unsure about.

    I mean what im looking at in particular with the hands I post are the flop and turn plays. More precisely whether I should be betting more or less at certain times.

    Sorry - I will try and clarify things with each of the hands I post.

    The BB had QQ.

    Id have to raise that flop bet then slightly, perhaps to $1/$1.50 - but wouldnt that scare them off too soon when the board is so uncoordinated? I was thinking about getting callers with the flop building the pot then taking it down on the turn.

    You have to pop it on the flop to at least 3x his bet. I'm going to make a guess here and say that it would induce him re-raise over the top for a lot of dough. He's coordinated enough to c-bet (although here it's a value bet because you said he had QQ) of half the pot. I just think that if you play at him aggressively instead of smooth calling, you'll get more action and more money in the middle.
