No decent reads on opponents. (only ~20 hands so far)

I have ace magnets with 5-6 outs on the flop. I didn't dare to bet on that flop.
Should I?

3 players to the flop, worst board possible for your hand... There could already be a made straight, 2 pair, more likely a set imo. So if you decide to bet out, you have to make a large bet to try and take the pot down right away. You can't possibly keep betting on the turn then imo, only if a Jack comes up. Else you'll just get rid of your money /images/graemlins/wink.gif

So in my opinion, you have made the right play, because you would have faced a stronger hand, with 2 players. With only 1, I would say large c-bet and see where you're at. But 2, there is at least 1 strong Ace which possibly won't fold to that c-bet!

My 2 cents

3.5:1 im peeling the flop. probably going for a muck on the turn. leading this flop is suicide tho. it will probably end up putting u into a bet/fold position.

Nice hand.

No reason to bet this flop 3-way, I think it's very likely that we're beat here and there's not really any worse hand that could call us (maybe KQ but that's really it). I don't really think calling the flop bet is a good idea because it's hard to get paid off OOP and when our straight would be quite obvious.

i dont mind giving up here is a tough spot

sometimes i bet the flop depending on the villian but as played looks fine
