    Before anyone says anything, I know I should have raised it higher preflop. On the flop, I really don't think anyone comes over the top all in without at least having a queen there, but that's my two cents on the hand.

    Nah that's a fine laydown. I'd lead flop for 100 though, it'll get you to the point where you find that you're beat quicker:

    *** FLOP *** [Qc Jc Qd]
    <span>MetalGod666: bets 100 or 150ish</span>
    CHAD_GUNN: folds or calls
    <span>blokzaip: raises 300 or so</span>
    <span>MetalGod666: folds and saves himself 300 chips.</span>
    CHAD_GUNN: folds
    blokzaip: doesn't show hand

    That's my line most of the time.

    I agree with the above.

    Lead, and reassess given his action.

    If you check, you kind of have to check\raise to work out where you are, and that can cost more.

    Ultimately though, I think its an ok laydown.

    you're most likely beat but you need to take the first shot at this one. The 20 chip bet is lousy and the 160 bet is probably a Q with a so-so kicker like Q-10, Q-9. A-Q wouldn't raise you all in being in position and not taking advantage of another bet. Your discipline in this was good not to gamble.
