I feel like I played this hand fairly well.

A little scary that I got 4 callers preflop. That doesn't usually happen with this raise. I didn't want to semi bluff the flop because I knew it would be impossible to make them fold. Threw out a decent sized bet on the turn and then checked behind on the river figuring somebody had an overpair/hit their set and was going for a check raise or would not call my bet because they were on a draw.

Comments? Even a "you played this well" would be reassuring.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (8 handed) converter

CO ($3.50)
Button ($27.25)
SB ($29.60)
BB ($19.45)
UTG ($4.50)
UTG+1 ($4.80)
MP1 ($10.40)
Hero ($24.65)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with A, Q.
UTG calls $0.25, 1 fold, MP1 calls $0.25, Hero raises to $1.25, CO calls $1.25, 2 folds, BB calls $1, UTG calls $1, MP1 calls $1.

Flop: ($6.35) 3, 7, 4 (5 players)
BB checks, UTG checks, MP1 checks, Hero checks, CO bets $2.25 (All-In), BB calls $2.25, UTG folds, MP1 folds, Hero calls $2.25.

Turn: ($13.10) Q (3 players, 1 all-in)
BB checks, Hero bets $4, BB calls $4.

River: ($21.10) 7 (3 players, 1 all-in)
BB checks, Hero checks.

Final Pot: $21.10
Main Pot: $13.10, between CO, BB and Hero.
Pot 2: $8, between BB and Hero.

I found the problem.

This should reasd "CO bets $2.25 BB calls Hero bets ALL IN" or "Hero raises"(edit)

You have overs + a flush draw and two callers in front of you. What are you waiting for?

But I suppose you didn't screw this hand up beyond recognition. Good play. I just like a more aggressive approach.

*edited once I noticed stack sizes.

Part of me agrees with Lee. Part of me thinks CO may have a set, in which case I like your play because it gets more $$$ into the side pot.

I read cutoff as "geeeez...there's so much money in there...and my stack's so little...may as well go all in and see if I can scare them away. I'd be getting so much money for nothing! "

Then you raise

bah that's a microstack who is almost definately a fish, he could have absolutely anything. Sometimes he'll have you beat with something, but you can't give those guys credit for anything. I'd just call here too cause you want more callers for the flush you would like to hit.

True - I am likely giving CO more credit than is due (esp. w/o reads). Still, I think the argument of increasing the side pot by NOT pushing is a good one.

Yeah; after I look up at the stack sizes, I agree. I would raise though, maybe 3x that bet? or at least 2x that flop bet.
