Here's another one:(Basically, I very rarely think to c/r on the flop, so I've been trying to identify spots where it might be profitable to try it.)10 handed $.50/$1 Limit HEI'm in MP1 with A:spade: T:spade:2 folds, UTG+2 raises, I cold-call, MP2 raises, MP3 cold-calls, CO folds, button cold-calls, SB folds, BB folds, UTG+2 calls, I call.Flop: 2 :) 7 :D 6 :D UTG+2 checks............And I bet. After I bet, I was thinking, wait, should I have gone for a c/r here, with all the preflop action (especially with the three-bettor right behind me)? Or should I bet, because it's a garbage flop, and it's a disaster if this checks around. I'm really not sure about this one, any thoughts guys?
Then you go to da box for 2 minutes by yourself, you feel shame... then you get free.

I'd fold to 2 cold pre-flop there. Experts, I need your advice. Too tight?

I wouldn't be the immeadite cold donker right here. If we have one in between us then fine, but I don't like this PF call at all

Preflop 3-bet might not be bad

I dunno, I like folding pre-flop much better. A-10s is just too weak here for me for not even being in good position. If I'm in the CO or OTB, I'd consider coming in, especially with a few more people in.

That's a money flop for you. Bet it. At the very least, you need some $ in the pot.

Yeah, I think you guys are right - I should've folded. Almost any raising hand is ahead of me here, and the pot's not big enough to come in when I'm behind.This one worked out - everyone called my flop bet, turn was J:heart: , I bet out again and everybody folded.
