i just sat at table at about 2 am saturday night (sunday morning). i came with 500$ and bought in with $250. the max buy in is 500$.

we are 7 handed, i have the 3rd smallest stack, 2 others have $450ish and 2 others in mid 50s have $1500 & $1800. i havent played with anyone at the table and i am by far the youngest one there. the dealer knows the guy with 1800 infront of him by first name so he prob is a reg. anyways here is the first hand.

it is the 2nd hand since i sat down. i am in sb. everyone limps to me.
hero AK i raise to 30, bb flat (150ish), utg+1 flat (500ish), fold, fold, utg+4 flat (villain) (1500ish), everyone else folded.

pot is now 135$ : flop KQ4

hero??

if all 5 non-blind players really did limp, then you should raise more pre. I would make it $45 or $50.

As played, bet $60 and call a jam. Jam all turns if called. If it goes jam jam jam behind you I guess you can fold.

Check/jamming is probably fine too.

If you are getting that many callers, I assume everyone else gets that many callers. If they do not then you have a serious problem in that everyone is after your ass. Which I think they are.

If the table gets so many callers on a $30 raise then you need to raise even more.

I read your other two posts before responding to this one. I think you are on the passive tight side. If that is true the lags are going to chew you up because you are too weak.

As such, at some time you need to start playing back against them IMO. What that means here is you need to bet $75 and call a shove. If you get raised then you shove.

Same logic on the turn.

Normally I don't take this line with AK, but the table dynamic against you seems to warrant it.

So, 7 handed, you're in the SB and everyone limps to you. That's 5 players. I'd raise to at least $45. As played, bet 50-60% of pot, call any shove. Shove turn if called.

Raise more PF with this many limpers and OOP - $40 sounds better. With your stack $30 is ok, but I think you can do even better with bigger sizing.

As played, I like b/c $80 on the flop, ship turn if it's just called.

Our 'target' hands from which we are trying to get value are KJ, KT, QJ, QT, AT, JT. These hands are more likely to pay you off if you don't shove flop than if you do. That's why we are betting flop with less than our whole stack when we are comitted.

We have 250? 50bb? I'm not folding TPTK unless some rare scenarios happened.

I'd either lead 60-70 or check/jam if I know some people will bet at it (player tendency, looking like they want to bet..)
