Button is uknown. I was planning to c/r the turn if the SB folded and probably folding if he called.

this isnt blind defense.

flop call is fine. turn check is fine. your turn plan is pretty bad (the c/r if sb folds)

river is hard to play. there isnt much value in a bet, and there isnt much chance of anyone bluffing here 4-way. i think betting is the right play.

Preflop is ok? Do you lead the turn?

Preflop is an easy call, unless UTG has tendencies to limp/3-bet for fun.

I don't like the preflop call. 84s is too raggish even 4 way for 1 SB.

So what is everyone's plan on the turn?

7:1 with a suited connector that is unlikely to be dominated...

I like it.
