Default Borgata live NL500 hand - I\'m sure I misplayed this one

I get Kc4c in blinds. 5 limpers including Old Guy, I check.

Flop comes Jc7c4h.

I lead out for $20, called by MP and OG.

Turn is a 2s, I check, MP checks, OG bets 40, I call 40, MP raises to 90, OG goes all-in.

WTF do I do now? Should I have just led out on turn?

At this point, OG had been playing solid so I folded here. [Vomit, right?] MP called.

Assuming approximately 100BB stacks you played this fine. Easy easy fold now though.

In a passive live game, I don't think leading out with this hand is as good of a play. I'd probably c/c the flop, maybe c/r with a read of weakness. Too often with a lead, you'll just get called all over the place and brick the turn, which sucks.

easy fold on the turn though.

apologies, I assume when not posted everyone has a full stack, in this case all players had 475-525 in chips.

FTR, I did sense weakness on the flop, esp after the all limp in action.

Default the flop

I am interested in the flop bet.

Did you expect to win the pot on the flop enough to make it profitable to bet $20?

Were you trying to build a pot so that you could win a big bet if your flush card made someone 2 pair?

It is a strange spot to be in oop when you have so much equity (hot and cold) and am not sure exactly which play is most sensible.

I was trying to do both, I suppose.

Results - Old Guy and MP checked river, OG had T9c for missed flush, MP mucks! Shockingly the pair of 4s was good. Ah, live play!
