C-bet in multi-way pot?

[Gib]

Not used to seeing this many to the flop, do you c-bet?

If so please state your reasons.

No reads as I just sat down.

Looks like the kinda board to do it on.

It's close but I would probably c-bet this. Having the A of clubs really helps and by betting you could eliminate some players so you gain equity to win a nice big pot.

With 3 players left to act, checking and seeing what happens seems OK to me. A jack is a pretty popular card to play.

Most people have a burning desire to bet with AK. A pair of 2s beats AK.

If there's a Jack out there or a pocket pair lower than Kings you have 6 outs and are 25% to come in with two cards to come. If someone has AJ you have 3 outs and are 12% to come in by the river.

I think we are drawing here and you won't fold a better hand on this flop. Made hands and 4 flushes won't go anywhere and we dominate all single club hands. Check and evaluate when it comes back to you.

I think this is a good time to check. We have several players that could raise our bet, costing us an extra SB to see the turn, where we plan to check/fold most of the time. I'd rather see the turn for 1 SB so I can check/fold it.

However, betting is not out of the question. We have the backdoor nut flush draw and the nut non-pair hand. The flop only contains two cards: a jack and a 4. I think there stands a pretty good chance that no one has a J. However, I'm sure one of these coldcallers has some 77 type hand, and those hands aren't folding. So I think it's best to check in this instance. If you had only 2 opponents I would bet.

Easy check-fold. I dont like c-bet OOP at a multiway pot. If you take a look at the PF play, u will se that anyone can have AJ, KJ and QJ.

I was had reraise more preflop, trying to get HU or take the pot down right here.

You check and it's one bet back to you, what odds are you getting and how many outs do you estimate you have on average?

[bobhalford]

There's hardly any logic to check/folding this flop. This ain't no-limit!
