New to the table so no reads, should i just make a continuation bet or was checking ok? On the turn looking at it now i see it was a terrible call, is anybody continuing with the hand once the one card straight and flush get there?

Uggg. This is a nasty hand. I would normaly bet about 75-100% of the pot but that damn near commits you. I think a $5 shows way too much weakness. I dont really like checking here but I think it might be your best option.

Turn is a fold to the $8 against 2 opponents IMO. But I probably fold too much. I can see an argument for shoving. I dont like calling the $8 bet at all.

interesting spot, a very similar situation is on the latest high stakes poker episode (Gold make top set, Antonius makes broadway on the turn). The difference is though that this is a 300BB pot and you have a high set. I would call becuase I can see many hands pushing the turn (QK,KT,A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]K, TT,99

Flop is good. Push turn. Lots of worse hands are calling you, there aren't many jacks in their range. You have outs.

I dont mind betting the flop since we are in position. As played I shove the turn expecting to see a jack but hoping to fill up on the river.

You have the best hand sometimes, and lots of outs when you don't. You have odds.
