[Garland]

Let's start with the flop. 4 ways and this flop in no way shape or form is good for you. Just because you pre-flop raised, doesn't mean you have to continue when the flop gets ugly. Just check and be ready to be done with it. Be happy if you can get a free card.

When the flop check-raise comes back to you, this might be controversial, but I most likely fold to the check-raise immediately. You're in a situation where hitting your card can become costly. Reverse dominated A, A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] or K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] completing flush, K completing straight, redraws for your opponents (but really none for you). The way I figure it, you have only 2 "good" outs: A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] and A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], and bad reverse implied odds.

The turn: What other option do you have but to fold? You're dead in the water.
