Re - Hand 2

How about you tell me why you WOULD bet the flop, and I'll tell you why THAT'S wrong? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

These are spots where I used to step on it, and after much argument with Miles have decided that it's not optimal. It's not wrong, per se, I'd just rather see the action behind me before I decide what I want to do. Our position is poor, our made hand is weak, none of our draws are to the nuts, and our FE against the field is sub-zero.

fwiw, if I'm in LP and it's checked to me I'll bet it 100%.

I would have bet the flop because, although you have many opponents, you dont know whether anyone else will bet if you dont.

Your outs are not to the nuts, but with your (3rd nut) flush draw (1 to a str. flush), I would have thought that you probably had an equity edge on the flop to make betting worthwhile.
