[Point Blank]

betting bottom of the bottomest pair with best kicker in a 6way pot is generally not a great idea

that you did ... whatever

on the turn ... you got called on a completely dry flop by two players - you are unlikely to be ahead and now have a number of solid outs (take your free card as they aren't folding whatever they called with on the flop)

[bravos1]

I prolly just check behind the flop.

As played, I take the free card on the turn. River is fine w/ the 2nd nuts [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Standard flop check, standard turn check.

[nerdking]

this is about as standard as they come.

[Aaron W.]

Check the flop. You rarely have the best hand (no immediate value in betting), you're rarely folding out better hands (no bluff potential), and you might get check-raised (okay... maybe not such a big deal against weak passive players, but keep it in mind). Thinking that it might buy you a free river card? Maybe, but I'd rather take the free card now.

[NIX]

I'd most likely check the flop and definitely check the turn. Since you got called in two spots on a relatively drawless flop, I would expect one, if not both opponents to have a better hand than you that they aren't folding on the turn. Take the free card.

[Grease]

I would probably check the flop, but since you didn't, I would take the freebie that was offered on the turn.

To be honest, I would probably bet the flop, but I know it's probably wrong. You don't have an equity edge, and you won't take it down right there, so I would probably check and take the freebie.

Yeah, def check the turn, you're probably not the only player to pick up some sort of draw.
