I ran into this a few times today, and while I might get a lot of hands wrong I rarely get stumped as when I get in this situation. Assume players are unremarkable.

Preflop: Hero is BB with J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
3 folds, Button calls, SB completes, Hero checks.

Flop: (3 SB) K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (3 players)
SB bets, Hero raises, Button calls, SB calls.

 I'm assuming SB can be betting with just about any piece of the board here (I do), so I raise this up. I've been getting a lot of calls behind lately though. I'm assuming big draw/top pair? Just in case it's a draw I bet the turn...

Turn: (4.50 BB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 players)
SB checks, Hero bets, Button calls, SB calls.

 Great, wheretf do I stand? My general plan is to check/call if button bets and SB folds a blank river, check/fold in all other circumstances

*grunch*

I fold the flop. small pot, we have no kicker. If we have say Ten kicker or better I like a raise. I'm also def. not betting out on the turn UI in 3 opponents, one who bet/called and two that cold called. Someones looking you up with a better Jack or a King, or better.

I fold the flop.

Why do you bet the turn? I check/fold. They both called your flopraise. Do you put them both on a draw? Of course that's possible, but a large percentage of the time it isn't.

I give up when button comes for the ride. Pot isn't that big and you are probably behind. I C/F turn.
edit:And yes fold flop.

Interesting, I guess that's why I feel lost on the turn-- I shouldn't get there.

What range do you bet the flop with from SB?
