Default Re: Calling two, cold, on the flop with a gutshot

With 4 opponents? I can only imagine you are betting for value here, what is the plan for the turn -- check?

I might peel one here if I were very sure that it wouldn't be raised again after I act. That kind of surety isn't going to happen often enough, and my default play here is to fold.

On average you will see the turn for cheaper by leading then by check calling. You've shown a ton of strength by raising a field of limpers from the bb so even people holding weak aces will often not raise a flop lead from you.

Why not lead the flop if you were willing to check/call two cold?

I think betting the flop is suicide.

I think Hobbs makes an excellent point:

You have a gssd and a non nut bdfd. If you spike your K or J, it's probably no good. I think you need about 6:1 or 7:1 to call this. You're getting 7:1 here but you're not closing the betting. So the question comes how likely is the original bettor on a bet/3 bet plane? It comes down to reads. If he's not going to three bet, you're effectively getting 8:1 to call. So call if a three bet is unlikely.
