Yeha I agree with DaveB...I play with Mustafa all the time and I have him figured out...He doesn't semi-bluff (at least against me)...I give him way more respect than I do any of my other opponents at the $100 level...Against him I would check it to him...If he bets he has you beat and I would peel one off and then fold the turn if I didn't hit my low or my A...I have tried to get him to bet my good hands for me and he just won't do it...He won't bluff when I check it to him after I raise preflop...I learned my lesson the hard way by pushing my huge draws into him when he hit a naked set on the flop and having my draws go to [censored]...

Mustafa makes a lot of his money at the lower levels by taking a shot on his sets coming in and having people overplay their hands like you did...Not saying that I wouldn't have done the same thing if I didn't know his tendancies on the contrary I woulda played it the same way against most of my opponents, but watch out for this when you play him...

Thanks for the heads up.

But even against your usual players, it seems like it's hard to play this hand. There's 5 players seeing the flop, and I'm 3rd to act. I see two checks - should I just be checking here with the assumption that someone has hit at least a 5? Do I have enough equity to peel a pot sized bet if so? It seems too tight to check fold here. So, is bet fold the right move? Questions like these = I'm probably a newb [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
