So We play a regular Tuesday night game and the guys there range from okay to average players. SO most of the night I was playing ultra T/A and everyone at the table noticed it because usually I play L/A against them. So anyway we all start with $25 in chips and blinds start at .25/.50. We just moved the blinds to .5/1.00. I have about $42 in front of me and am the chipleader. The next closest guy has $37. So I'm in the SB and get dealt A9o. Everyone folds to Mr.$37 who calls the BB, Dealer calls and I call BB checks. Flop come A Q 7 rainbow. I decide to check, BB checks Mr$37 goes for $2.5. Dealer folds and it is on me...What would everyone do? Any feedback is appreciated and I will post my action later. 8)

There was madness in any direction, at any hour…You could strike sparks anywhere. There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right, that we were winning…. And that, I think, was the handle-that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of Old and Evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn’t need that. Our energy would simply prevail. There was no point in fighting-on our side or theirs. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave….So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark-that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back.

I would have bet the flop. You have such a vulnerable hand that you really needed to figure out where you were before any action started. You may have the best hand now, but in order to find out, it's going to be more expensive. You could check raise him here if you really thought he might give it up. You are the SB in an unraised pot so you could have any two cards. ISorry I don't have anymore constructive advice, I just can't put myself in the situation where I checked the flop with such a vulnerable hand and am going to consider either folding top pair to a small bet or check raising with a weak hand into an unraised pot. Your opponent could have anything from high card to a set. (I don't consider calling here because you have no idea where you are in the hand.)

Depends on Mr $37, is he the type to play A-rag? Does he like to limp with AK? Since you already checked I'd raise to $6-7, in an unraised pot you probably have the best hand unless someone hit 2 pair. If he reraises you then you probably have to fold, but again most of it depends on what type of player Mr $37 is. He could very easily be betting with the Q because nobody has shown any strength.

i tried to talk here about that program, the RNG , not to talk about when to accept all in without to see flop.
You can accept all in whenever you want, or whenever you feel lucky, but in virtual room's is not like in reality. In reality anything is possible... in virtual rooms you can be "the one" who knows the future, or who can change the future.

Well this play has been killing me all day. I had put Mr.$37 on a queen as he was playing pretty loose and figured him for 2nd pair so I raised him all in :oops: . he flipped over a Q and an A and I was pretty much drawing dead. I can't understand why I didn't just raise him a little. After the play it seems like the logical thing to do. Oh well Live and Learn. Good to hear the advice. I guess I should have bet the flop to see where I was.Thank you for the input 8)

I'd probably have kicked myself a little for not betting my top pair (despite the mid-kicker) on the flop to see where I stood relative to the other players still involved. If you had bet and got raised, then you have some good info and could have gotten out cheaply if you wanted to. Since you checked, without a raise, you're probably defensive the rest of the way. Since you said you have a rep for being L/A, but everyone noticed you were playing T/A on this particular evening, a check - raise probably would have done you well in this spot. That falls in line with you being chip leader with your T/A style this evening. It looks like your tight play sucked you into playing tight/passive on this one hand.

Last night I stayed up late playing poker with Tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died.

He did check raise him and ran into two pair. It seems he played this hand very loosely.

He must have been replying as I was typing my message. I didn't have the check-raise all-in info when I replied. If I had known that then I would have commented that IMO that play was too aggressive unless he knows this players style inside out. But that's just me, since I'm generally tight-aggressive.
