Bill,
I thought I'd check out your blog. Cool stuff.
About the hand:
If you want to play 97s on the button in a raised pot, you need a bigger stack.
Same idea if you want to bluff. Your turn bet, is not so threatening since you don't have enough money behind for a good 2nd barrel on the river.
Also it is really hard to represent something after you checked the flop in position in a 3 way pot.
With more chips, though that AQ would have been sweating bullets!
Cheers,
Mathieu
Mathieu ... glad you like the blog. As for this hand, you've managed to describe exactly why I call myself a "donkey" for this play.
I'm working on an article called "Speculosity" that deals specifically with this type of play.
