by getting more bets in on the turn and not effing up the flop?

pls tell me why you played the flop the way you did (warning : i am on my way to blastoff and seem to be in a richard schiff type of mood).

I would have check/called the flop. You have a BDSD, so I think you have about 3 outs on the flop, so a call here is warranted with the large pot. I don't believe you're ahead here with 4 players seeing the flop, and MP2 having 3-bet you, so the flop donk probably wasn't the best idea.

I would have check-raised the turn. I would have gone to a cap.

I'd bet(or raise)/call the river.

Preflop: standard
Flop: I don't think you can bet out here with 3 other players in the pot, especially if two of them were from EP and the third 3-bets preflop. check-call one bet.
Turn: very straighty board now, even with your set. i'm thinking bet-call
river: call and go for over calls

[OziBattler]

I like preflop but Im not a fan of the flop bet against unknowns. you are only ahead of a very select few of a sane preflop bettors 3 betting range and toast to all the rest. Im not really confident in any of our outs so Im not even sure if we can call a flop bet. I'd be happier if we held the 10 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]....

3 outs is generous. Our T outs are not clean &amp; we have the worst kind of BDSD (2-gapper), which is not worth .5 outs even.

QJT, yo.

i agree that our Ts are kinda dirty, but even if we c/c like we should, we're getting 16:1 and closing the action.

[BigBadBabar]

i don't like the flop too much, i think i'd go for a check-call. on the turn, i would cap it or raise as much as they let me. if they are still going strong on the river (ak? higher set?) call it down.
