[Whalewang]

No reads. Lead the flop? At the time calling the river looked good.

Final Pot: t1400

I'm thinking lead flop and check turn, fold to the reraise on the river?

[Dan.]

Looks fine until you called the river. Calling the first time is arguably okay, but after the CO raises I'm done.

[J-P]

Lead out with 125-150ish on flop. Slow down on turn.

As played I fold to the first 200 bet on river.

I really hate leading flop here. I hate it.

Calling a pot-size bet on the river is pretty iffy. I think Dano's right, gotta fold against CO reraise, though I doubt I can do it.

i like the flop check, turn is obv not good to lead oop, and yeah you have to fold the river raise, esp when sb calls as your never good here even getting 454305943059650:1

i love checking the flop and betting the turn in situations like this normally, but with the overcard falling i like the check on the turn- i'd call the first raise on the river but not the reraise.

even with the K on the turn?

[ayecappy]

how is checking this flop with 3 opponents on a somewhat drawy board in a small pot where we most likely are in the lead a good play opposed to for instance betting 130?

Would you lead out with a J instead of a T? If not, what about K kicker or do you need the A to lead? If someone bets 80 on this flop that you checked what would your action be?

Thanks for the help. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
