Allright... Question on how I played this hand...Limit 1/2 at Pokerstars5 playes in the pot pre-flopI am on the button with A:heart: 6:heart:I call from the buttonFlop brings7:heart: 10:club: J:heart:SB: - Bets 1Everyone calls ahead of me, So I callTurn brings Q:diamond:SB- Checks - UTG Bets 2Everyone calls to me - Right now that pot as roughly 17 in it and it gets to me, 2 to call. I'm getting 1-8.5 Pot Odds, and more than 1-10 Implied Odds so I called.The River Did not bring a heart and I folded on the river.Did I play this hand correctly? I am pretty sure that I did but I'd like to know forsure... If this is a leak in my game I'd like to know.

raise on the flop:1. for value. five-way pot, you have good equity. if someone three-bets and everyone calls, cap it.2. for a free card on the turn.if someone bets into you on the turn, just call unless the pot is six-way or more. if no one bets, check and take the free card.check/fold the river UI of course, but if you hit the nut flush and someone on your right bets, you want overcalls, so call, but if someone on your left bets and it gets called to you, raise/cap freely.aseem

Yeah thats how I will ussually play that from the button, but I was acting quick, and with 5 people in I figured the free-card play wasn't worth it... the betting for value on the flop IS correct 100% I realized that afterwords, regardless of hitting, with it being 5-ways I wasn't going to raise again on regarding the overcalls, I was on the button so it would have been perfect because the SB and UTG were the raisers, I think people would have called so I was in perfect position to pick up another 5 BB's guaranteed and possibly 10 or more if someone else would have had a flush.

what Assem said. It also builds you a nice fat pot as you also have some high card strength too. If I'm in early position and it get checked to me, I like to check so I can CR it. Basically raising to put more $$$ in the pot in this situation is always goot
