($5NL- 6Max) Bad Pos, TPGK + FD , monotone flop, multiway pot help
 

I have just joined the table so no reads on villains. I'm always looking for the best way to handle playing hands like these.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.05 BB (5 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

Hero ($5.95)
UTG ($5.88)
MP ($11.68)
Button ($4.61)
SB ($5.90)

Preflop: Hero is BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
UTG calls $0.05, MP calls $0.05, Button calls $0.05, SB completes, Hero checks.

Flop: ($0.25) 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
SB checks, Hero?

I bet around the pot, and hopefully nobody acts too strongly about it.

I lead with a PSB here, and hope no one raises. I don't want to play a big pot in this situation.

I hope you both see how this isn't good, especially when you're offering help/assistance. Being confident enough in your play to give advice, IMO, doesn't involve hoping for a particular reaction to not occur. If you're hoping, then that tells me you're not confident in the play.

I would over bet the pot to about 0.40. If you get any action its time to close down. That’s what I do at 5NL in these situations were its impossible to know were you are.


This on most occasions make draws fold. It's most likely only a made hand would call.

I personally would bet hoping to three-bet. I think there's a decent chance a bet captures some dead money that a check-raise would not.

Edit: ok, I just realised that we have a sunshine flop in a multiway pot. I'd check and call.
