Would appreciate some feedback on my early decisions in a LL online game.

Im in the CO with AcKd. Two limpers to me, I raise, button folds, SB reraise. The BB calls, the 2 limpers and I call. 5 players to see the flop.

Flop: QcTs8s.

SB bets out. All call. 5 players.

Turn: Jh.

Giving me the straight. Checks to me. I bet. All call. Still 5 players.

River: 3d.

I bet and called by SB with AhAd and BB with Jc6s.

There were no options on the turn and river, but how would you have played the early streets?

Hi Danny

I would have capped the raising before the flop unless the SB is a player that I am pretty sure has a big wired pair. It opens up more opportunities for plays on the flop.

Hey there,

I would have capped the betting preflop. Then with the SB betting and all the callers in the middle i would have raised on the flop. You have two overcards and a gutshot draw (the Jack).. they will all call your raise and then check to you on the turn. If you hit the turn (A, K, or Jack) then you just keep betting, if you miss then you can check and get the free card.
