Three-way, I think CC is best here.

I think check/folding is definite option, leading the turn doesn't seem good.

I would check/fold if Carl makes a beet of 10k or more and button calls or raises. The neat thing about live poker is you are able to guage your opponents reactions when the flop,turn and river come out which I think is mandatory on the turn here being out of position.

I really hate leading the turn bc you are out of position vs 2 opponents, the flush has gotten there and if you make a standard lead into this already 20k+ pot you are just asking one of your opponents to blow you off your hand. I just think it's highly unlikely that you are beating both players even with top 2. I really don't see you getting to showdown unless the turn or river is checked and the other street is bet abnormally small (like 7k-8k bet into 22k pot).

If this helps, I've also never caught Colson with anything but the goods... LOL

Check and hope that there is a bet and a caller behind you so that you can safely fold.

If it goes check-check-bet or check-bet-fold then fold sometimes and call sometimes or push if your doug kim. LIve reads if he can make the bet with AxQh/AxJh make all the difference. If I call the bet on the turn I am probably check folding the river because I think that AxQh or AxJh will check behind unimproved on the end and because people don't two barrel bluff this very often.

I don't like leading this turn because it allows Ax to fold and Ax with a heart to shove.

What action do you guys think is more scary, check/bet/fold or check/check/bet?

This should be a pole

check/bet/fold

with check/check/bet I will not be too worried about MP holding a flush and button is more likely to be stealing.
