Re: underhouses = the devil?
like a lot of other situations in poker, it depends. with 4 peoiple behind, you bet, ANY Q will call you, let's say a 10 drops, now what? you lose another pot sized bet with worst of it or check and fold best/payoff with worst?
FUndamentally it comes down to this. You bet here, you have NO safe cards on the turn. some are safer than others, none is truly safe. By betting the flop you've set yourself up to lose a lot more on the turn and/or river by either folding best or paying off.
A hand like this is as much about pot control as trying to win the most.
