88 UTG - Confused me much.

[Joe826]

The villian in this hand is a fairly solid player, unlike everyone else at the table. Is this turn bet correct against 3 opponents with 2 overcards on the board and a flush draw that just got there? What if I bet, and 2 of them call, then a brick hits on the river?

this turn card is a check-fold situation against anything other than 1 player imho

been here a lot - i like to bet - not always but a lot - i'm dying to get the button to fold - if i had the 8d i am more tempted to check

the less opponents the more i would bet - i also factor in whether i respect someone who has come this far and whether i can safely fold to a raise - ie is one of these guys likely to take a shot at me with a hand i still beat

i dont think it matters too much - sometimes it will go all fold and that doesnt have to happen often for betting to be a good plan - i often feel like i spew money on the turn in pursuit of seemingly hopeless causes and sometimes i probably do but i think its good to bet the turn and fold to a raise when you know it means your beat
