I can find a bet/fold on the river with a read, but other wise

why? are you hoping to let them outdraw you for free?

Your pot equity sucks, your hand isn't very strong, you might not even have the best hand, you aren't in position, and nobody's folding.

if no one has a Q or a flopped flush, we have a pretty strong hand. i agree that there are a lot of bad cards that can come on the turn, but this is precisely why we don't want everyone getting to the turn for free. we can't bet for protection per se, but we can bet for value and because laying 11.5:1 is >>>>>> than laying infinity:1.

our flop bet could easily buy us absolute position for the rest of the hand.

i don't understand why you think no one will fold. i would fold all kinds of stuff on this board.

Yeah, but you're actually good at poker.

Live 4-8 game.
