If you aren't going to reraise preflop, then for the love of god make your move on the flop. Me personally, I like to bet out in a situation like this.

As played, folding to the river bet is bad.

Normally I like a c/r on the flop but multiway I just lead out and hope CO raises the button out. Also like c/r if button were a little bit looser. This is borderline. Either bet/call or c/r. If it went lead, CO raise, Button cold calls (or 3bet) then likely peeling one and folding turn unimproved.

Good flop and need to protect your hand in some manner IMO plus get some value while (if) ahead. I guess you could 3bet and lead this kind of flop but that just bloats the pot and your last to act so definitely not. I'm just rambling.


As played interesting spot, I think Button has 9T+ here most of the time. The only other thing could be some kind of two overcard backdoor flush peel that he is bluffing the river, that seems unlikely. I'd fold and feel reasonably happy about it.

So, do you think CO was stealing? Do you think button has the better hand or CO?

What do you consider good flops, when you just call pre-flop? Hint: That flop IS a good flop.

If you bet the flop, you gain some info, but must unfortunately fold to any raise and may be folding the best hand. *edit*, of course you may call one more bet if raised, but must fold turn UI.

If you c/r, then you gain maximum bets on the hunch that you are ahead and that CO is just c-betting and BTN has overcards or something like that. Unfortunately you will also lose a lot of bets if you are far behind (drawing to 2 outs).

None of the opponents strike me as too aggressive to be c/c the flop...

And the same goes for the turn... 2 is pretty much a blank there (except for some weirdly played A3s, perhaps).
