given your stack size/pot size i don't lead the flop, i check and push over bets that would commit villain, just call ones that dont. if it checks through i'd lead like 1200 into the turn

really at a mostly passive table u would check this straight draw heavy board, not sure anything about the new guy who just got 3 calls ...

i figured leading small would get a push from a big pair or set... i dont know if i like giving a free card if it checks around then the 1 card straight hits with 3 people in the hand

on the river hes obviously folding a non-striaght and calling anything with a staight / or raising all in

that was just my thinking though

bleh, yea i didnt read that it was passive, but the hand that you're stacking by leading, you're gonna stack checking too. No way overpair/set's arent betting the flop. one of the good things i like about better though, is that if UTG and UTG+1 are bad they might call your small bet before MP1 jams.

Eh i think both are fine here

result was the calling station with Q5s

i was just wondering what other people would do here... he could have ANYTHING

don't underbet the flop

don't underbet the turn

don't check the river

don't just call when he underbets the river

get chips into the pot with your three of a kind at some point in the hand pls

I check/call the flop and raise the turn. The only hands that you are afraid of are J8s and QJ. I can't see villain raising PF with QJ after 2 limpers. I'd put him on an overpair.
