First of all I want to thank writser for taking the time to review my hands. He did a good work and I value his input. This is a hand where we differed in opinion on postflop play and I'd like others to weigh in with the hope that I learn something.

Here's our conversation on the hand:
--- WRITSER: I'd bet on the flop to get some donks out and to buy a freecard on the turn. Getting C/R'd would suck though, but that's a risk I'm willing to take.
OS SEZ> I'm getting my free card now. Why should I "buy" one with such a marginal hand? Getting c/r'd would REALLY suck in this case when all I have is a gutshot and two crappy overs. (Late note: and a crappy BDFD)
-- WRITSER: I tend to disagree. With this bet, you can see the river for 1 small bet, you buy yourself outs AND you might even pick up the pot right here.Yes, getting C/R'd sucks but that doesn't happen a lot at these limit. If you check, someone IS going to donk the turn and then you don't have the odds to call.
With fewer opponents, say 2 or 3, I think writser has a point. With 6 opponents I can't imagine doing anything but taking the free card and getting the heck out if I don't improve on the turn.
