    Default Should I have raised more on flop?

    Was just moved to this table 2 hand ago. When he took time to call flop I was thinking AQ with maybe AK or AJ wanting a straight. When he called I seen in my minds eye an AQ and like it until the turn showed up.

    Should I have raised more on flop? I kinda wanted a call. As played it was a good fold yes?

    thats a good point, I should have raised 200/250 at the flop with a caller... that way I would have put 350-400 in on flop. BUT if he had AQ he still woulda called flop and I just would of lost more.

    As played good fold. Personally, I raise to 200-250 preflop with a limper in front, and I push the flop (pot would be 450 with you having ~1100 in chips so any decent bet you make commits you).

    Your flop bet is borderline, by the way. MP2 is getting 2.9:1 to call and 3:1 odds are generally accepted for a flush draw (4:1 shot + implied odds).
