I have about $350 in MP2
Villain in BB has me covered.

2 limps, I raise to $12 with QQ.
5 or 6 callers!!

Flop (~$80) is 9h 7d 3h

Very tight player who never bluffs leads for $50.
a bunch of folds.. and 2 players left to act behind me.


This is the type of player who would lead with a set/ 2 pair. He definitely doesn't have a flush draw and he most likely would have reraised preflop with KK or AA.

I'm probably good here since he has TT and JJ alot, but do I want to raise and how much? I really don't want to give odds to some bozo behind me with a straight draw or flush draw. I was just a little offset by the tightest player leading into me in a huge multiway pot.

Call, gather more information.

I don't realy hate a fold if you tell no one about it.

Pot is ALMOST big eough that I just want to commit, but just small enough to hate life.

flat calling is the standard play in these murky situations. Hmmm,i think that i insta muck it against one or two opponents in this poker room and can see through their soul

If I had the read that he would slowplay his sets and bet out his {A9, TT, JJ, K9}, is this a clear raising spot?

I'm a little confused. If he is slowplaying his sets than I am crushing his range on the flop and don't really mind giving a free card if it makes him think he is good on later streets.

My concern is that I don't want to get too fancy with multiple opponents behind me who will be getting favourable odds to call with draws. Is this a valid concern or am I just being paranoid?

P.S - thanks for the responses it helps alot with my game.
