72s: Another Harrah's hand with a flop question

[Nick C]

I was playing B&M 3/6 today. At the time, the table was tighter than I was used to in casino play. During my first two hours, five hands were folded to the blinds preflop. The table was very passive, but I wasn't crazy about it anyway. It was sort of relaxing for a change to be able to bet and not anticipate the inevitable raise, checkraise, or fold (that's kind of what I'm used to at the late-night Party 5/10 6-max tables I usually play), but I was looking for 8-handed multiway action with my premium hands, dammit!

All right, so strangely all of sudden it was 4 limps and one complete to me in the BB -- which was what I expected in the first place, but it took me by surprise at this table.

I had 72s. The flop came 754 and two-suited, with none of my suit.

The SB checked.

What should I do? I wasn't sure at the time, and I'm still not sure.

Online, I just don't think betting does a lot. I'm going to check and play poker, but if the table is really weak tight, why the [censored] not bet.

Thats crazy I played 6/12 today at my local casino and in 9 hours It was folded to blinds once.

I check this flop with top pair no kicker on a 2 suited board against 5 players. At my local casino you bet here you get 5 callers . . . then I am lost on the turn.

What the hell is with that phrase? Obviously you're not playing soccer on your computer and despite it being cards, you're not playing solitaire. "play poker" is the most meaningless phrase 2+2 has ever invented

[Buckmulligan]

check and reevaluate then, for the right brainers.

Yeah, it was weird. That's why I started counting. (I started counting the second time it happened.)

[MrWookie]

Wow. That is really weird. I like the check and see plan.

**the pot is medium for this betting round in my opinion. if somebody wants to argue that it is still small im going to argue that it is six handed and that makes it bigger than small which is medium.

**your hand is vulnerable with flush and straight draws showing in a very multiway pot.

**your hand is weak as you have no redraws and your kicker is as bad as it gets.

im not implying you should do one action more than any other but just giving you something to think about.

My concern is the high number of limpers on this hand... if the game has been tight up until now then why have so many suddenly limped in? Perhaps they are getting bored and want a piece of the action. I think I would check/fold here without a kicker. With one it's a no-brainer bet.

I think check folding the flop is probably best.

Although the table is tight, I can see players calling a flop bet with a lot of different hands on this board.

Hands like A6,A8 or say overcards with a bdfd. In fact, I think that almost any Ax hand would probably call.
