25NL: 77 Multiway Flop Bet?

[Daniel LeClaire]

What does everyone think of betting the flop here? The flop isn't terrible for my hand, but the number of players makes me question how smart betting is. If I check I'll have no idea where I am.

Full Tilt Poker - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $0.10/$0.25 Blinds - 5 Players - (LegoPoker HH Converter (http://www.legopoker.com/hh))

SB: $25.25

This is pretty much standard I think, with only one overcard. But you're right, with the amount of players in, you have to be very careful. Most of the time you're going to see CO turn up a king here I think. It's a typical NL25 donk move to clickraise with top pair. At least that's my experience.

Villain dependant. If I see alot of weak tight nits I cbet because I know only a King or set will play back at me and theres a good chance that I'm ahead (board missed everyone)/ can make 88 - 10 10 fold too . With no reads I lean towards a check. As played fold to his min bet.

The bet should be bigger.
