I would hammer the flop with a much larger bet &amp; again on the turn to push out the draws.

Do you fold or push if raised after a pot sized flop bet?

Any raises probably means you should fold.

[Phil Van Sexton]

I assume all the stacks are still 1500ish?

I think your line was fine. I don't like a big bet on the flop. There's no need to create a huge pot. You have to bet something, but without letting things get out of hand. Both of your bets accomplish this, so I like.

i dunno... you have a 6-outer to the near nuts plus there's a decent chance you're ahead even if you're raised. it's at least close if you get raised on the flop.

i would pot the flop and check the turn. the pot's just getting too big (even with your t90 bet) and there are too many people in. decent chance you're beat now and if you're not there are a million draws to dodge. hope they give you a good price and probably block the river.

Have playing cash made me nuts or is this a raise preflop?

i wouldn't with a utg limper. if it was CO and button maybe. i'd raise JJ though.

[Melchiades]

Won't the UTG limper soon enough let us know whats up though? I mean we seem to like potting the flop here anyway, so we will spend some chips to find out if he was trapping with a big hand no matter what?

I guess there is a lot of flops that we don't feel like betting into 4 people with though. Maybe I got a bit blinded by the flop here. Still think a raise is a decent option preflop though.

I think the pot is a bit too big to make a decent raise and then have to play OOP with only a 50xBB stack and TT. It's also a bit too small to just shove preflop.

So I'd just call and see what the flop brings.
