Didn't want to mess with this flop in this situation. Raise or fold there, I think. I chose fold. Too weak?

Wasn't planning to bet on the end there, but it surprised me to see it get checked around. At the small risk of getting gay check-raised, I thought it was better to bet at the end there to get 1 or 2 more BBs from worse hands than mine.
The turn call may have been a little weak, but flush draws are staying no matter what, and I didn't want to get 3-bet, especially 4 handed. Don't think I have much of an edge on the turn to push.

Hand 1: I'd normally bet/call or check/fold in the first one depending on my opponents. I'd rarely check-raise. Reverse implied odds are high though...so I don't mind bowing out.

Hand 2: Looks good.

hand 1, I'm leaning towards cring this flop since I don't think that there are all that many safe turn cards that we can CR to protect our weak hand


hand 2: don't raise PF with this hand and that many limpers in front, no way, no how, rest of the hand looks fine

hand 1: Might throw a bet out there and see what happens prepared to fold if its raised and someone else calls.

hand 2: seems alright.

That's funny because I would think if I limped there and posted the hand, I would've had people say "raise this PF"

Isn't this at least close, as to limp or raise?

Seems like I'm likely to have the best hand so far (PF), and how many flops will I feel great about if I just limp in PF? Still seems like raising PF here is better than limping.

for me, I don't raise A10o with that many limpers in front of me on the button, its just what I do, some will disagree, I just don't like raising off suit broadways outside of AK PF with several limpers in front of me, and I don't have to worry about trying to knock out players behind me. If you had this in MP2, then go ahead and raise it cause you want to try to knock out those behind you and maybe the blinds

I'm not a big fan A10o with several players to the flop, period.
