I am a former limit player (occassionally dabbled in NL) who withdrew my entire roll after the whole Neteller debacle. I would do .50/1 and occassionally 1/2 and was starting to consistently beat the game for a decent 3 BB/100. I was just at the point where I felt like I really started to get it. I started knowing where I could steal, knowing where I couldn't, when to call down with Ace High, etc. I haven't played cards very seriously in over a year (due to a deployment and also some personal issues.) I feel like I've forget everything I learned and also am being hampered by my "limit" knowledge being inappropriate for NL. Now I am trying to rebuild my roll (at 10NL), and I have a question about hands like these:


MarkRedog is at seat 0 with $3.56.
THE BALLS is at seat 1 with $2.90.
Taste234U is at seat 2 with $2.97.
Eldon is at seat 3 with $9.75.
blitz989 is at seat 4 with $1.13.
gropey is at seat 5 with $6.48.
gabanana18 is at seat 6 with $5.56.
Torracollons is at seat 7 with $9.85.
Xtreme27 is at seat 8 with $8.25.
moiraine57 is at seat 9 with $9.80.
The button is at seat 0.

Taste234U posts the small blind of $.05.
Eldon posts the big blind of $.10.

MarkRedog: -- --
Taste234U: -- --
Eldon: -- --
blitz989: -- --
gropey: -- --
gabanana18: -- --
Torracollons: -- --
Xtreme27: -- --
moiraine57: 7h 7c

Pre-flop:

blitz989 raises to $.20. gropey calls. gabanana18
folds. Torracollons folds. Xtreme27 folds.
moiraine57 calls. MarkRedog folds. Taste234U calls.
Eldon calls.

Flop (board: Qh 7s As):

Taste234U bets $.20. Eldon folds. blitz989 folds.
gropey raises to $.80. moiraine57 ????

What do I do here to maximize my profit while still protecting my very strong (but vulnerable) hand? In LHE, I could make a case for flat calling and then popping the turn as the best way to protect my hand while maximizing my proft. Here, I think Taste is making a very weak continuation bet, but would probably call $.60 with any piece of the board, though I doubt he'll call a reraise. Do I just flat call here, hope the turn brings a non scary card and drop the hammer then? Or do I reraise gropey now, and hope he caught enough of the board to call or preferably push over the top of me?

Id just raise to $2.50 or so here, no need to worry about taste as hes short stacked and if he comes along for the ride, so be it. hopefully gropey will push all in with his Ax, Qx or SD/FD. If he just calls, get it in on the turn.

Miffed22001 is on a distinguished road
 call, push any turn.
You could even push here and get called by tp at these stakes.
Its a non dangerous board and we arent folding any street anyway with a set.
