Results:
Final pot: 5.5BB

Questions;
1. Should I be betting into such a large field on the flop?
2. Should I have bet the turn? (My intention was to avoid an obvious check-raise.. Who else calls on this flop besides a slowplaying ace?)
3. River is standard, I assume.

i would bet the turn.

and I'm really not sure on calling that particular river, all the gutshots just got there and the pot isn't that big. you're probably hoping for a split or that he peeled with nothing and is bluffing, a lot of players just try to get a showdown with made hands that you beat.

Am I the only one check/folding the flop?
1/2 6max, 5 players to the flop
i'm pretty sure there is an A out there

I like this, but against a guy you see a lot in the same game, metagame considerations require that at least SOMETIMES we do something different. Else we're going to get abused by c/raises with gutters, 77, etc.

I agree, were drawing dead to an Ace, so I don't see a reason to take a free card.

Yeah, I agree 100%. But in this case where I "Have never seen SB before. Doesn't have many chips left though.", I am bet folding the turn here. If he c/r's he is saying "omg now i cant get my 2.5 BB's in and he will call".

As far as metagame goes, calling here says "calls down any piece", folding says "I can bluff him". I'd say I mix it up here 80-20.

I'd check this flop and see what transpires. I'd rather not invest a bet when the flop action may tell me I'm behind.

Turn is perfect.

River is so-so. I'd call just about anything but a King or Queen here.
