Default Do you protect?

Stupid question time of the day. Consider it more of a sanity check.

Compatible converter down sorry, but.

Q8o in the BB. 3 callers, one early, 2 middle. All others fold including the small blind. That should put us at just about exactly 4.5sb. Reads are 2 callers are sort of solid, 3rd is a role model for calling stations everywhere.

Flop is 668 rainbow. I bet, solid players fold, calling station thinks, then folds.

This is normal yes? I'm sort of going to the doctors office without any symptoms here, sorry. I don't think there's a more optimal play is there?

Time for my check-up.

Looks fine, you may want to try and c/r a late position bettor if you know there is going to be one, although you are afraid of most of the deck and don't really want a caller here.

sounds fine to me. It's only interesting if/when you get raised.

It sounds like the LP guy is an LPP guy [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]. This will get checked thru a lot. Also, if we c/r & get 3-bet by one of the other two, it's time to fold. I'd rather b/f the flop, or b/c & b/f the turn.

Well lets look at all our options shall we?

Fold: Insane
Bet: We likely have the best hand and wouldn't mind taking this down right now.
Check: Benefit: small chance of c/r depending on opponents (reads needed). Con: getting checked through and half the deck could make someone else the leader on the turn. Terrible!

A check is too dangerous and our hand is too vulnerable to not bet this.

Lol. Love the bold.

But I gave you reads, but I'll reiterate. First two are sort of solid. Not super tight, not super loose. Not super aggressive, not super passive. Not super good, not super bad. They're just all around non-super. But as I said, last to act is a role model for calling stations everywhere.

Either way, thanks for the input.

I don't see what else you can do. LP is unlikely to bet it for you. Bet and hope for three folds is what I'd do.

If you say the other two are solid they may have raised a pocket pair 99+ preflop, also if they are solid I can't see them playing a random 6. You are ahead most of the time, so MUST bet to protect agaisnt overcards (there are probably a lot out there).
