4/180, TPTK in the BB, multiway flop

[hamnegger]

sorry you are correct its 1000 in pot. here's a hand where i checked aq in bb. however i do understand there was more to be gained by raising and winning 1000chips than my example and im not saying not to raise pre just saying its not a terrible option checking for deception.

Order of my preference of plays

1. Raise about 1400 pf and push any flop heads up. If multiple callers then do a shot of Jack and push flop.

2. Push pf, you increase your stack 25%. I like the first option a bit more as it has a better chance for more chips.

3. Check pf (uckky). Check any flop and crai favorable circumstances.

Anything else seems kinda bad.

I dont like a lead on this flop.

Probably we will get raised by QJ-KQ, who seems a cheap flop, and this will be a hard situation to laydown.

I think a c/r is better then lead the flop;

I would go AI pre flop.

In my opinion at this blind level the players are on average not too bad but definitely not good.....though maybe thats what you're saying.

I definitely lead the flop with 4 other players.
Sure sometimes they will all fold but a lot of the time you'll get worse hands to play.

If I lead and get raised I'm AI.

I would only CR if I had agg stats on a player behind.
