Results:
guy who put in big raise has 77 is called by original raiser with QJ and the set holds up.
I used to always fold in this situation preflop but the odds tempted me too much, also how is the post flop play, should i have raised more than i did ( i know it worked out for best that i didnt but what would be the right bet) ?

pott odds or not, thats a tough hand. you are easaily up against AJ, AQ, KQ, KJ, AK, hell, anything, like marm said its such a borderline hand.

the idea of not playing hands like that is so when you get a flop like that (top pair) you arent forced into a tough decision. most of the time, you are going broke on that particular hand. it was a raised pot. chances are you are outkicked or outpaired.

just wait for a bit better hand, say AQ. put in a raise and hope someone makes the same mistake you did.

hmm.. pot odds or not.. i dont really like the preflop call.. ur sitting at about 21 BB's.. i think its time that u played a little tighter.. also ur out of position with 4 people left to act behind you... on top of that it was UTG who raised it preflop.. gotta respect that, so im folding preflop

Min raised from the small blind, its a hard lay down but you're first to act now with 4 guys, including the original raiser to act after you

I'd call that preflop, the position's not great but it's a great opportunity to take down a huge pot for minimal risk.

The trick is to let it go post flop with that Jxx flop as what you're looking for is either 2 pair or a good straigt draw to take it down. I'd check the flop and look for the last person to act to bluff it (in which case I'd reraise) or hope to see the turn.

Reads on the other guys (betting patterns VPIP would be the key though)

you bet 450 into a pot of 1500.

Terrible, either check to see what your opponents do or bet 750-900.
