50NL - Make flush, lots of action

[mookboi]

After looking over the hand, I was kind of kicking myself for not folding PF. But there were 2 other people in pot, so I guess at time I talked myself into calling.

Both villains are like 36/22 over 100 hands.

why did you lead flop and check turn?

I mean, there's nothing really wrong with leading flop, but strong c/r would probably be better given your big draw, or at least that's what I would do in this spot.. let UTG CB, MP call and you C/R strongly..

[mookboi]

I bet small on flop, because I was hoping one of these 36/22 aggro muppets would raise my small bet &amp; I could 3bet-shove all in. On turn, I checked hoping to CR. I didn't CR because MP raised. This was probably a mistake.

lead the turn here, checking is bad in so many ways

[ShipitFMA]

I definately C/R tur, with 26$ now i the pot I should we CR to 25 and shove any river. I really really dislike flat calling with so much action on the turn...get it in there

[Daniel LeClaire]

MP raise doesn't necessarily represent strength. On the turn you checked and UTG made a weak bet, so he could be raising with a lot of hands. It doesn't really matter because you can't fold to MP anyway since he has 60bb. I think you just tried to get too fancy here.

I would C/R the flop. I don't like checking the turn neither of them are guaranteed to bet, there wasn't that much action on the flop, and a checkraise is so transparent. As played raise the turn, but I think leading is better.
