Open fold. Those guys are obviously too good.

i think we can bet out here, but i am getting ready to release/shut down if someone raises or calls me.

Someone gotta have a set or NFD here.
I still think we should bet out. There is a tiny chance noone flopped anything, but it's tiny.

I cant really bet out and fold if they push. I have to bet at least 17 leraving me w 25, getting 4:1 on a push... well that was my thought. So I decided I only had two options.

Check/Fold
Shove

[Spurious]

you could bet half the pot, you dont have to bet 3/4 in a 3bet multiway pot, at least that's what i do most of the time. Because people cant call too much in such a big pot with second pair or sth.

It is a weird spot. I guess check-folding is ok, too.

But I am lost.
Lets hear someone else.

[scallop]

Betting 1/2 pot sucks if I am called. Which I am liable to be. Seems like total donation.

[Schiester]

Crazy pf action! No idea whatsoever re: MP hand. I'm shoving; not hoping for much. I would hope your ahead of everyone else but someone have hit a set. Hopefully better hands fold to a shove on the monotone.

gotta call/fold here ... look at the possibilities..

A.) Overpairs. They can't lay those down at this level, so you get called and lose there.
B.) Flush draws. They're calling you, and probably rightly so as this pot would probably end up 3-way and thats the right price.
C.) Lower pocket pairs. The only pocket pairs you beat now are 22,33,44,55, 77, &amp; 99, and you lose to 6. 77 and 99 also have gut shot straight draws, and if they have a heart, have a 4-flush, so they probably call you also.
4.) 79, 68, &amp; 8 10 are all ahead of you also.

Keep in mind that you're essentially betting that none of the three have any of those cards. If you wanna bet that, I'd take the other side of that action all day.

Basically you're banking that they all have unimproved broadway with no hearts, and 22 through 66. Even the unimproved broadway is one card away from beating you.

Check, Fold as there is only one card in the deck that helps you (Js) and that may not be enough.

I think you can find a better spot than this.

Id check, turn will be A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] but heyyyyy

[cashstrapped]

Id normally just check fold i think.
Its fairly likely some of them are set mining and that flop hits those hands right in the face.
Also big hearts, straight draws and overpairs arent going anywhere here so id give up a lot of the time.
