Default Re: Would you bet the flop here?

Because everyone would likely just call; and right so with over 1:12 odds. The turn would then probably be checked to me, and if I bet out again people still get about 1:10 odds to correctly pursue any miracle they might hope for (or a flush). Now if I check, someone is likely to bet out on the turn, giving me the chance to raise a smaller pot. Now they face a 2BB bet on a 7BB pot, making a call incorrect in many cases. Also, I might actually make more money with a turn raise, or at least almost the same. I'm just not sure if this principle completely applies here.

I had a feeling you were going to say this exact line of thinking, which is incredibly wrong. You are betting for value, there is no need to protect when you have the best hand.

I really don't want to get too deep into why you should bet this flop... if you aren't, just read SSHE. Your thinking is way far out there.

Also, do you think everyone is drawing? Why can't anyone call down with a weaker hand?
