Hi guys,

I had problems converting this hand, thus the raw HH, sorry.

this is probably pretty standard to most of you, but i wonder if i can play this any better

thanks much for your help!!

PRE-FLOP
wlmi97 calls $2, HERO calls $2, dudor55 folds, tiltfest calls $2, Fill Aivi folds, Gaz73 calls $2, KeijoB calls $2, Eazyrider2 folds, diepedro checks, 2ndNuts checks.

I limp behind ready to call a raise with DS QQ

FLOP [board cards 8H,5C,QH ]
diepedro checks, 2ndNuts checks, wlmi97 checks, HERO checks, tiltfest checks, Gaz73 bets $14, KeijoB calls $14, diepedro folds, 2ndNuts calls $14, wlmi97 folds, HERO bets $84, tiltfest folds, Gaz73 calls $70, KeijoB folds, 2ndNuts folds.

I c/r here and pray for a safe turn. I get called by Gaz73 (50/13/1.3 no better read, i was multitabling). I m ready to pot any non heart on the turn. How would you guys like just calling behind on the flop and leading safe turn cards? what about simply leading for pot here?

TURN [board cards 8H,5C,QH,4H ]
HERO checks, Gaz73 bets $210, HERO folds.

I think the NFdraw was gaz most likely holding on the flop, so i check and fold

SHOWDOWN
Gaz73 wins $417.

vn post there ojingo

i like the flop lead now a bit better (for the reasons that don cologne gave), but this appears to be simply a question of tast as both lines seem to be running pretty close in value

thanks much guys
