bet or check?

Also, this is the type of game where checkraising is common which I also think diminishes the value of betting. I also think this is a much clearer bet with, say, two fewer opponents - the fact that there are six against you with this coordinated a board means your bet will win the pot outright less often, you will be checkraised more often and be giving people correct odds to many hands.

I am not sure that a checkraise from say one of the blinds is a bad thing. Maybe he has 89, or 8T and helps clear the field. Maybe pokerbob is in the blind and has 56 and checkraises hoping to fold a T to clean up his OESD. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I just think that sometimes we need to accept and expect to be in marginal situations. If we can't get involved in this pot, in position, with middle pair ace kicker then we probably should just muck preflop.
