Do you guys like this bet, or should I check behind? I figure that if I'm ahead I want to take the pot down now, and if I'm behind I want to set my own price for finding out.

against 2 players i'm checking behind

Folding pf too nitty? Easy check fold on flop though

[chuckpalms04]

yeah i don't think i'm gonna fold jacks on the button there

Seems like a pretty standard fold to a 4xbb + limpers raise from a regular. Against an unknown I think this gets really difficult to play as shown by the example.

calling is about equal to folding against an unknown I think, but it certainly does complicate things.

I'd check behind on the flop to control the pot size, with the intention of seeing a cheap showdown. I think you can get some value out of worse hands if the turn/river blank.

I could see hands like AQ, flush draws, etc calling your t200 flop bet. If one opponent calls, the pot size is now t730 and 34% of the cards in the remaining deck are scare cards. Not to mention the times when another player has Kx, or even a higher pocket pair.

Preflop calling is fine.

Postflop i probably bet here too, i mean you are bluffing basically since v unlikely a worse hand calls, but preflop raiser is checkfolding here like 99%, so you'll pickup the pot most of the time, and its unlikely checking behind is going to bring some amazing situation which is much more profitable than betting the flop - your hand is almost never going to improve and you still won't know where you stand.

I play the same as OP, nh
