Re: He cold-called my check-raise and others came along. Now what?
Why aren't you value betting your top pair in this situation? This is a decent board, but not a great board. Certainly not good enough to risk giving away a free card.
In this situation, IMHO, the cold call of your check raise indicates either a set, a draw or non-believers in the strength of your hand.
IMHO, in this position you gotta fire bullets on the flop and most likely keep firing on the turn. This check call business is no good given the play of your opponents and the board. What good is pot management if your check gives a free shot for someone to come from way behind to way ahead?
Make someone pay for the right to catch a lucky card. This isn't likely going to be a huge pot anyway, unless you get stuck paying off someone that you helped to get lucky.
