Is the river a dream or a nightmare?

[Lucky]

I fold river to first bet, with player to act behind. Definitely fold to raise.

I dont raise turn, as pot will be huge, 4 players are in with 2 to act behind you.

On flop, a fold isnt bad. But am I the only one who likes a flop raise. The SB has weak lead, at this point the two to act behind you have just limped pf. They'll have to have very big hands to get involved with SB to act. I'm guessing you take it down about half the time with a raise to 36. You almost certainly dont have best hand, so you're making better hands fold. The pot wont be huge, if you get called, you still have decent draw, and it pots escalates, you can get away.

There is 3 to act behind me on the flop and i think the board is faily likely to have hit somebody so i don't like raising...The more i think about this hand the more i agree with Garland and think i should probably be raising the turn here. I have a great chance to take the pot down right there and if somebody pushes i have an easy fold....
