I just can't help myself...

There are three limpers and I pick up Q9o in the small blind and complete it. The big blind checks his option.

The flop is Q75 with a club flush draw. I don't hold any clubs. My action is ...

Open fold.

Just kidding - My default is the check-and-see in this situation. Any reason to bet? Charging a flush draw is not an issue, since an intelligent FD will bet themselves.

Maybe I'm missing something.

I would bet. There isn't much apart from a flush draw the other players could get off a Q75 flop. A larger queen hand tends to raise preflop with a couple exceptions.

Bet, you probably have the best hand. If you check, you're setting yourself up to be screwed on the turn vs 4 opponents.

Bet. FWIW and Its probably not worth at all. Im on the betting side. Due to the above reasons.
Good luck anyway.

Way too much hand not to bet - the benefits dwarf that of "check&see".

John Feeney would probably look to check here and hope to checkraise a late p bet. (ITPM pgs 119-120)

There are more limpers in that hand on a more coordinated board.

I knew I was asking for a "thats not the exact same hand!" type of reply. The question is what's diff about his thought process?

I know, almost as predictable as a "I'd rather fold than raise" post inducing a "why the [censored] would you fold?" reply [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
Anyway, fewer limpers + less chance somebody will bet + less big of a pot to protect + less vulnerable hand are key differences imo.
