Yeah, HU I just pot this flop. Multi-way action, I generally play this hand pretty slow...

why wouldn't you just raise this flop even multi-way? seems like you can get enough of your stack in to deny them odds to draw. and I think you get it in enough vs Jxxx to make up for the times when you're drawing dead.

this is 3-way btw.

I just personally found that it was a -EV situation for me to continue potting underfulls in multi-way action. I feel more confident that I can outplay someone in a pot much less straightforward than this one, where you are getting called by any J and are only 70/30 to win, or being snapped off by J8 where you are essentially drawing dead.

Have you found that the times that J8 has you effectively drawing dead outweighs the other times they have AJxx or whatever and we're 70/30? Because I love to get my money in as a 70/30 all day considering the many more marginal situations that come about. Are J's folding that often that we don't ever get our money in that good?
