V1 ($65): Middle-aged Asian Fish. A bit before this hand he limped on the BTN when I had ATs in the BB, I bet flop and turn of A629dd board and he called both, river D we checked and he had KK lol.

V2 ($260): Older guy wearing V-neck, gold chains, bracelets and watch. He'd been playing relatively tight thus far. Was talking with another guy about playing at Showboat - seems like a tight, small winner reg type.

Hero ($400): Have a great image - been running hot and have shown down mostly big hands thus far.

Preflop: Hero is in CO, 2 limps and I overlimp with A9 (Don't know why I limped - this is usually a raise. Minor brainfart), we see a 5-way flop.

Flop ($10): Q23 V1 leads out for $6, V2 raises to $20, Hero calls, V1 calls.

Turn ($70): 3 V1 shoves for $45, V2 asks how much it is then flats fairly quickly, Hero?

Getting about 3.5-to-1 and Villain has about $200 behind. But how often is my flush even good when I do hit, and how often do I get paid if it is?

Nothing wrong with limping suited As. Get a lot more flush over flush that way.

fold flop? :-/

why in the hell would you be folding this flop?

Definitely. You're going to have position on most players if not all and this is a nut making hand, perfect to play multi-way IP. This is what dreams are made of lol

Fold turn.

Well, you COULD limp with it, or you could raise to $10, buy the button, take the initiative, and bloat the pot for when you do hit...

I'd call turn. Rarely are you against a boat in this spot. Though I'd be concerned that two diamonds are already gone as outs. You'll have to make some money in the sidepot to make this call worth it.

OP do you expect V2 to limp behind with a lot of of Qx hands? Does he limp AQ?

I played around with pokerstove on this one and can't come up with realistic ranges for the villains where our equity is good enough to call. With a tight villain in the side pot we aren't getting much action when we improve. I think I'm folding here.
