Went with some friends to AC to just have fun playing poker rather than going there to just try to make money. So I played some limit rather than NL so there was no stress of losing a bunch on one mistake.

Playing 3/6. Typical bunch of players. Don't drop top pair but might not just bet the hand into a preflop raiser until they have two pair. Chase draws and overcards, ect.

2 limpers, I raise up QQ, one behind me calls, blinds call, limpers call so 6 way to flop.

pot is 36 minus rake or $3 (max of $4 when pot is 40+)

Flop is

You have the .

Checks to you. Do you bet?

I decided to check which is debatable. Someone with a K might not have bet (will def call, very little check raising going on) so i decided to try to take a free card. I don't think this is wrong but betting and seeing what other people do and maybe fold out a hand like Ax or 55 so they don't hit later would probably be better.

Anyway, guy behind me checks. My read is he would have bet with any draw or pair so he's got nothing.

Turn is giving me a 2nd nut flush draw.

blinds check, first limper bets $6 and gives me a bit of a stare. one fold then me. Read on this guy is he's new to the table, young and been very active raising preflop or at least playing pots. I figure he either has a K or a so either my QQ is good or my draw is good. plus him staring at me gave me the feeling of weakness so I called. all others fold.

river is

he bets $6 giving me a quick glance. I call figuring if i was 50/50 on turn, I got to call him down with the size of the pot.

Comments on all streets welcome.

This is a much better time to take a free card after preflop raising:

You raise on button with . There were 4 limpers and blinds call so you see the flop 7 handed.
Flop:
Everyone checks to you.

Do you see the difference?

well he had [2h] and i won.
