Comments on all streets appreciated.

wtf were you thinking on the flop. Bet it please. I don't understand. I can't even begin to think about the rest of the hand because this is just so wtf.

I was thinking that it's a low ragged flop vs. opponents whose hands are most likely
(1) broadway cards that are drawing nearly dead and will fold to a bet,

(2) pocket pairs 99-JJ that I can get two streets of value from but that probably won't get all-in here, or

(3) sets.

76s is a slight possibility, but that's the only reasonable draw out there. So, the way I see it I'm WA/WB vs. a regular and a probable nit and decide to wait until the turn to put in a bet of my own. I mean, most hands that I beat are folding to a flop bet or only calling 2 streets of bets anyway. The only hands that I expect will want to play for stacks here are sets because this is full ring.

Also, if I get raised on the flop it's much harder to get away from if I'm behind -- I always think "well, they COULD have TT+" even though I'll most likely be up against a set. On the other hand, if I get raised on the turn I can be much more certain that I'm beat while still getting value out of weaker one pair hands.

Also, since the regular is on the button, if this gets to showdown it will balance the times where I check/fold weak hands in multiway pots -- not so important against the SB, but I like to vary my lines vs. regulars.
