I guess I folded because I thought he had me beat, but looking at this now, he probably had a pair of Queens and for all he knew I had a pair of Aces. Maybe I should have raised? Would I have lost the hand anyhow?

i really wish that you would post this in a better HH format.

anyway, no you shouldnt have stayed in. in fact, you should not have bet. ever. at all. MAYBE call a small bet, to try to hit 2 pair or trips, but other than that, nooo. certainly dont lead bet the min.





god damn i hate min bets

yea i agree. i don't roll with leading out with a min bet when i hit mid pair. if i'm going to bet mid pair i like to make it around half the pot.

oh and in regard to min raises, we here in boston don't like min raises...we call them gay raises...except on thursday nites when we have a couple lesbians with us.

side story a couple thursdays ago someone min raised and i said pretty loud "gay raise!" and a couple of buddies of mine look at me and i go.."we're screwed" and we fell on the floor laughing.

true story.

Sorry.. I tried to use the converter, but it just hangs. I'll try again later.

Also.. I should have said that this is a limit game.

Thanks for the feedback.

Okay.. so seven people see the flop and I hit middle pair.... I should get out at that point?

How many should I stay in with? 3? 4?

Edit: Six saw the flop

how does player 5 raise to $2 from .25 if this is limit?

Good question.. I honestly don't know.

This is at pokerroom.com at the .25/.25 tables.

hmm ok

Alright.. I'm still a noob....

I just rechecked the hand and noticed "PL" at the top.

So basically I played about 90 mins at at Pot Limit table and didn't even know it.

typically, no, mid pair, especially with a crappy kicker, i.e 7 , is certainly not good in multiway pots. you probably should check/fold or check/call, planning to fold unless you hit the river. if the J hits, then you can play it aggressively, but if a 7 hits, be cautious, but not scared. bet it but if you get played back at, probably check/call to the showdown.

that said, most of what you do has to depend on your reads of the players, so try to establish those
