Default Here\'s a common one

You have something like AJ or AQ suited or not suited. You raise from an early position or the blinds purely for value becaue your opponents all suck and play garbage.

The flop comes KYZ, where Y is your lower card, and Z is a lower card. You may or may not have backdoor straight/flush draws. You have many opponents as usual.

What are your lines for the flop, turn, and river?

so, if we have AJ
K = King
Y = Jack
Z = brick
I'm gonna bet this flop and go from there, that's really all the reponses you're gonna get.

As Tommy Angelo told me, "just because I raised preflop, doesn't obligate me to bet the flop".

When there are 8 people in the hand, and a few of them look like they liked the flop, it's ok to pass. Of course in some game textures the cheapest way to see the turn is to bet.

I am very curious to see answers because I don't think I have ever played in a game like this.

if theres like 3 or definitely 4 callers and 3 or more of them have position on me since I opened the pot in EP I ck here, call 1 back then fold the turn UI most of the time

if theres only 1 or 2 players behind me then 1 or 2 blind callers id bet the flop and go from there.

pretty much always bet the flop and then depending on how many players call, and how bad they are, I often bet the turn as well. If I make to the river HU you often have a value bet as well.

If you ever check these hands in this situation, then you'd better sometimes be check-raising AK, AA, or top 2. Since giving bad odds to gutshots is relevant here, that line might make sense, so if you do such things, then checking 2PTK isn't like showing everybody your hand.
