- Had 175 hands against TO (13/3) and 63 hands against Shade (17/2). I figured when the Ace flopped I was done with two callers behind me, so I checked the flop. Was surprised they both checked behind, so made my CB on the turn.

FeARFaCT   United States. May 05 2009 21:50. Posts 496 You need to raise to at least 6x out of the blinds with one limper, I'd go 7x here with 2 limpers. Still ok to fire on this flop, doesn't need to be huge just enough to rep an ace... checking is ok sometimes too. I don't like leading the turn, you really look like you have exactly what you do have here. Better off just leading the flop. You also give yourself an opportunity to get outplayed on the flop by checking, because if I'm last to act on this flop in this situation then I'm betting any 2 cards here. Your decision can be more closely tied to how strong you think your opponents are. If you do check the flop, I'd be more inclined to check and at least induce someone to stab at the pot as opposed to leading and getting outplayed. As played you were prob beat on the river.. esp with the small "call me" type of bet, but really anyone with a brain could have floated you on the turn and taken it down on the river. FeARFaCT.net
