More marginals...Bodog 1/2 Limit (7-handed)Cobalt is BB w/ T 7 .Pre-flop:UTG calls, Cobalt checksFlop (5 players): 5 8 T :heart:SB checks, Cobalt betsTurn (4 players): Q :diamond:SB checks, Cobalt checks?While I think I'm probably ahead on the flop, I'm 90% certain that the Q hit one of my opponents.

Why oh why would you think a lowly queen hit one of 3 other players? A king, perhaps, and ace, almost certianly, but a queen??? :?

Because someone's playing J9 or QJ.

Since You checked, did You plan to check call the turn?

Really? I fail to see that. You got some hacker software that allows you to see their cards? If not, do you always assume that someone has something that fits into the flop? Please clarify why you have suddenly become the Amazing Kreskin... :?

Yup.However, the turn checked around and A showed up on the river. Easy fold to the SB's bet. UTG called w/ AJ. SB flipped up J9.Rocket, what other draws do you see on this flop? One of my three opponents is likely to have one of them or a better T.

There are many plausible holdings that your opponents could have, many of which you are still ahead of here. Ace king, ace jack for example would probably still be there. 8-9 would still be there IMO. One single overcard to your (now) second pair shouldn't automatically scare you. 8)

AK? With no raise pre-flop? I've got to be really creative to think I'm ahead on this turn.

I see many players (correctly or incorrectly...i don't always know) just limp with ace-king at 1/2 and lower limits (heck, I do it sometimes with pocket kings)...I don't think it is that much of a stretch... 8)
