Lead flop. Lead turn. As played, I really don't know what to tell you.

9 times out of 10 I'll lead the flop. They'd been folding every time, though, so I tried something different this time.

Then start leading the flop with air if they're folding.

You should lead the flop here. You're hand figures to be best at the moment and there are a lot of draws to gain value from.

His range is wider than a straight and it includes lesser 2 pair hands. Ughhh, as played I think you should flat call and block/value bet the river for ~3/4 (fold to raise) assuming non- heart, Q, 8. I think we are way ahead lesser 2pairs that we can get value from on the river or way behind sets/made straights.

And also, check/call on the flop is meh. It's not horrible, but you should be leading the turn every time if you just c/c the flop. It's 3way and you don't want it to be checked through with all the draws.
