flop lead may be better, as villain may not cbet when he misses on this board 4ways

as played, c/r the turn for value and call down a 3bet so long as the river isn't a club

You are probably WA but if he has a good draw you are just a little ahead. If he has a flush you are not WB since you have many outs to a boat. This is not a WA/WB situation. Most likely you are WA and you should play accordingly if 3-bet you have good redraws if you up against a flush. But you should call river anyhow since the pot is large enough.

NO.

WA/WB means you have a few outs (say, 0-4) if behind and, if ahead, your opponent has a few outs. The latter is very false here b/c of the 3 clubs. The opponents almost certainly have at least 10 outs.

OP, raise the turn and fire a non-club river, call a 3bet and a non-club river.

Also, the hand you flopped isn't strong enough to want to play a huge pot 4 way oop. even if you are behind, you would love for PFR to raise to face the field with 2 cold, so this is a good spot to donk for protection.

the problem with this logic is:

1. If the PFR has AK, he folds, or calls = no protection

2. If the PFR raises = protection.

It also equals = you are losing

I like the flop c/r. Get a bunch of ppl to pay 2sb when have the likely best hand.

What do you do in this spot when you get 3-bet on the flop, but don't improve on the turn? I mean when the guy is particularly straight forward. I seem to almost always be WB in this spot, but end up calling down hoping for a stubborn 3-bet with whiffed overcards.
