Bet the flop and call a raise.Just because it's a capped pot does not mean that you should not show aggression with only one over card out there. This table seems loose enough for several hands that are potentially worse then JJThen you should check/call the turn and river, unless it's bet and raised in front of you.There's no way you should fold to an unraised turn or river.Just my opinion
Last night I stayed up late playing poker with Tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died.

tough question...if she has been showing signs of such severe retardation before, then yes... the pot is pretty gargantuan, and its hard to fold.... i might have tried a raise somewhere... serving 2 purposes... try to isolate her, and gain info about her hand

Well, I had no read. If you call down, what are you hoping to see? TT? AQ?

i guess my point is that i wouldnt have been in that spot at all... so i wouldnt have to make the decisioni would tried to isolate her the best i can... this would also make the pot a bit smaller, thus easier to fold... the raising also defines her hand alot more...i don't know if i would have called here on the turn ,cuz i would have played the flop drastically different....its like asking what i'd do if i had a vagina... i don't really know, cuz i never had one.

i don't know if i would have called here on the turn ,cuz i would have played the flop drastically different.... You'd raise, everyone would cal and then what?Raising the flop here is meaningless.Either you're calling it down with the K out there or you aren't. There's no way to tell if someone has AK or KK or AA or QK or K3 or whatever by raising this flop, at best it might fold AQ or something that could draw out on you.

a raise on the flop might slow them down on the turn... this can be quite advantageous, no?

You beat me to it Smash. It sounds like my mistake here ended up saving me money. Dumb luck, I guess.

I'm out of position. Are you saying that you would check the turn, hoping that she checks behind with QK?

How do you play it then, Smash? Check/call? Check/fold?
