Lovely, Just Lovely (200NL)

I'm playing in the g/f's account at FTP and she's watching. This is known as sexual pressure. LOL

Anywho. The table is fairly raisey and aggressive.

UTG hits the btp button and open raises to $7. MP calls, SB calls, and I have Q[s] Q[h] in the BB. Like a Hooters restaurant, we are all fully stacked (except MP who
only has $170 so he's the frumpy hostess).

I couldn't decide if I should reraise or not. I felt at the time like I'd get multiple callers and didn't want to play a big pot OOP so I flat called.

Flop ($28) Q[c] 6[d] 5[c].

SB leads $18.

Do you raise or flat call and why?

That's a lot of players for a flat call; however, the table has been VERY raisey and chips have been flying so a reraise is probable from someone because my flat call REALLY looks like a draw to them so they'll raise with all sorts of hands.

Unless there's someone behind I can be sure of a raise from, I raise because it's multiway and a draw heavy flop.

Not re-raising preflop here is a gigantic mistake. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE re-raise this. Please?

I re-raise every time. The risk of flat-calling and allowing someone with a straight or flush draw to call cheaply isn't worth the benifit gained by flat-calling and hoping UTG has a big pair and re-raises. Even if you do re-raise, the chances UTG will raise again with a big hand are pretty good anyway.

Please re-raise preflop. Please.

At FTP, you have to reraise preflop.

Im raising the flop also because I dont expect that the button has AA or KK, so I doubt hes going to raise it for you. I make it $54

FWIW, I believe wholeheatedly that if I reraise preflop to $35 I'm getting 2 or more callers because I've reraised preflop before at this table with AK and go it. I figured the original UTG raiser would call and then all the rest call with their draws.

Flop-- Yeah its a must pop which I did. As it turned out, they all called and the SB repoped allowing me to push. We all 4 got it all in and they had.

EP-- A[c]K[c]
MP--5[h] 5[d]
SB J[c] T[c]

The turn brought the 6[c] and their flushes were no good in the $900 pot.

What about reraising preflop to whatever amount you think will get it heads up?

Ive been known to shove all in preflop in this spot (with far less than QQ and with AA)
