Default Noob Question #2: Unraised pot from SB. Flop is OK.

Assumptions:

- 6-max
- Everyone has full buy-in
- Players are unknown

2 players limp.
You complete with 97s in the SB. BB checks.
4 BBs in the pot.

Flop comes K94r. Your action.......

Flop comes Q86r. Your action.......

Flop comes K65r. Your action.......

Flop comes T94r. Your action.......

Flop comes AQ5 and you have a 4-flush. Your action.......

Flop comes KK7r. Your action.......

Flop comes 964r. Your action.......

Flop comes 843 and you have a 4-flush. Your action......


IMPORTANT: How do your answers change if there is only 1 limper?

Check all but the 9-high flop, which I pot bet. But I play draws more passively than most.

I like betting the first three usually. You have bluffing position on boards where there are not many callable hands.

I would bet the pair of nines for protection against overcards.

I'm checking the AQ5, even though we have a flush draw, someone has a pair to call or raise with.

I'm betting KK7 to represent a king and protect my sevens.

I bet the last two. The pair of nines for protection against overcards and the second because of strong draw equity over 50%.

I lead the OESDs and FDs, dont lead middle pairs, only lead top pairs against tighter players.

Check? I like betting the first three. With a random card distribution there's a 2/3 chance someone has a king...but at least half of those hands people probably wont have...like K2-K9, except for the big blind. I think the bluffing opportunities here are too good.

I'm out of position with no reads and a mediocre hand playing into a 4 way pot. Check everything, call upto PSB with OESD or 4 flush.

With 1 limper = 3 way pot = same answer.

If just me and BB, bet 3/4 to full pot on draws + K94, T94, 964. On KK7 bet 1/2 pot to represent donk betting the K.

Gotta learn 6max someday, might as well be now...

You guys really complete SB with junk like 97s and just two limpers? Yuck. If you hit the flop, you get to play a draw OOP; yuck++. Do you do the same with 53s?
