Lead flop!

Re: FTP 32k, flop bottom 2pair
 

lead because if he checks then the turn would def be a scare card.

Re: FTP 32k, flop bottom 2pair
 

LEAD!!!!! but looks like you're going broke as played

Re: FTP 32k, flop bottom 2pair
 

I pretty much always lead out here for at least 700 and jam it over a single raiser.

K I usually do lead out from the blinds with a strong hand but isnt it ok to sometimes check raise?? Like, what percentage of the time do you lead compared to c/r. In this spot it was a 6way pot so theres a great chance that someone will bet at it.... and I can come over the top and get some more chips while discouraging some draws.

Am I retarded?

1. Lead flop b/c there is a chance that it will get checked through and you will not like ANY turn card.
2. You're check raise was for too much. You don't mind a caller as long as he's not getting the proper odds. Something like 1700 would have been better and may have induced a reraise by a weaker or drawing hand but b/c you have essentially pot-committed yourself, that's not going to happen.

Re: FTP 32k, flop bottom 2pair
 

I have one question for you.

On this board (I know there are 2 Diamonds), do you honestly think he stacks off with 9K 9A to your over-raise?

I think this is truly horrible, no offense!

A bet here may induce a raise in which you can 3 bet all in. On this type of flop with that hand I'm trying to get in as much money as possible on the flop because all turn cards suck.
