This situation was very frustrating, I wouldnt mind one caller to my flop bet but the two of them helped build the pot so much that I got commited with my AQ Top Pair OOP vs two opponents from a field of 4 preflop callers! Eek, not to great...

So, any other lines to take here???

Marshy_UK wins $50.45 from the main pot with two pairs, aces and sixes with queen kicker.

A good result but Im unhappy with commiting so much (over 100BB) by the turn. I felt this was my only move as betting any less [but enough to protect hand against draws] would commit me anyway and checking leaves the huge pot open for a bluff.

I felt my only option was to stick it all in to protect my hand from the flush draw and hope both of them had a weaker ace or drawing (unlikely really)

Experimenting - 200NL 5max.

damn you getting plenty of action on a 6bb raise huh?

you played this just fine.. i dont know why you feel like you should be less aggressive. putting them all in was just a little over the pot size so that was a good bet.

just scared one of them had ak or trips really, i lack confidence when it comes to pushing with this type of hand. This is probably cause i multi-table and currently dont use reads [something i'll start soon for moving to 50nl]

the only hands you really have to worry about are 66 and 88. Its pretty unlikely he has either and its pretty likely he pays off with Ax. Well played.

gabe: Ive dropped almost 100k in the past 35 days.

I don't see how you can put people on quads or 88 here. 88 wont still be in on the turn with the A high flop and you cant consider quads.

At the type of table where you get 5 to the flop after a 6x raise its very likely there could be a 6 in here somewhere. These guys are obviously coming in with crap.

I think the way its played is really the only way to do this. I think you loose a stack lot of the time though. If you check the turn any Ax you have beat pushes and its harder to call then to push yourself. So you are at a disadvantage to the hands you beat as well as those that beat you. Pushing the turn is probably the optimum line. Its ugly but still best.

i ment that people like calling raises with PPs. Im not saying fold incase someone has the 66 or 88, im just saying preflop preople call with PPs. I still play this pretty aggressivly.

I think it was played fine. I'd be a bit worried about someone having the 6, but not much you can do bout that...
