Whiff flop, bang turn

Flop I thought was a standard c/r, I think protecting my hand is worth more than the chance it gets checked through?

Good point and since pot is big its nice to get rid of hands with just one overcard.

The thing is tho, when button bets you might not have anything to protect. A lot of players will check whiffed overcards on that flop 4-ways.

Dunno I guess you should expect people to c-bet with oc's on that particular flop. I know I would.

I don't think I agree with this. Betting out puts a lot of pressure on MP's with PFR on the button and you can represent a 5 more credibly than with a c/r. I guess this depends on how the table is playing (do they ever fold flops, how agressive is Button). If Button is agressive i prefer betting, then 3 bet when there are (loose)callers or just call when I get hu (possibly folding on later streets depending on board and opposition).
