Playing at a very loose and aggro home game where pretty much everyone has deep stacks (150bb+)

The guy on my left in particular is potting pre 8/10 hands. With a wider range then "yo mumma" jokes on the net.

Playing $1 / $2

9 handed and im playing $440

I have Q

There are 4 limps in front of me, i limp, Guy on button makes it $15, 3 calls, ME?

i decide here to pot it. I'm hoping to thin the field to HU or 3 handed, I have two decent suits with a high pair and the majority of the time have the best hand here

Guy on left calls, 3 more calls ( 2 loose aggro players and one tighter player)

Pot = $402

Flop J

checks to me, me??

Fist pump shove? Pre is where you should be asking questions.

Hey Mate,

Thanks for your response, can you elaborate further on pre?

Not a big fan of the preflop play, I wouldn't have potted that. So many things can do wrong here.

As played, fist pump shove flop as stated above

Think pre is probably fine given game description. Thinks it's good actually.

Asking about what to do on the flop in the high stakes section is unacceptable however.

As played, flop has to be a pot/shove... Are there any turns besides a 5 or a Q that really make your hand better?

I dont like the play pre. I think too many times you whiff a flop. This flop isnt actually ideal either, but with the checks in front of you I think you need to take initiative and jam it in to price out the naked draws.

Yup. I would've raised the limpers first time around. Not in love with potting after button raises tho. Pretty great flop for your hand LDO.

I don't like preflop backraise but I fistpump shove flop.

EDIT:
Actually just read guy was raising 80% of the time pre so I like how it was played.

Based on your description of the game, it seems futile to try to thin the field PF.

Based on your hand strength, I don't know why you would want to thin the field; the people you want to play against will fold, and the people you don't want to play against won't.

AP, obvious shove. It sucks when someone has a set, but that's poker.

Thanks for all the feedback guys.

I shoved flop... got called in all spots and QQ held up to win a $1600 pot haha (dont know how QQ held up!)

preflop is interesting - I didn't really know what to do to be honest, but i do like the aggressive spot.
