I know the flop bet was small and in hind sight the 100 bet is retarded I should bet the pot or 200. The turn is a tough situation, what would you do?

I'm no expert..

The bet on the flop was bad I'd bet the pot there, now on the turn here I think you are beat by atleast a flush, cause if someone wanted to fight off the draw that bad they woulda re raised the flop. You aren't getting good enough pot odds to call your implied odds of the board pairing or getting another 4, I'd fold you aren't too pot committed.

You should bet a lot on the flop with your set, because the turn will be the worst scare card in the deck and force you to fold when 3 people go allin. (Joking of course)

Honestly I think this flop is a perfect time for a check raise. You have an extremely coordinated board against 5 opponents. You definitely want as much action as possible on this flop, and I think checking here is the best way to acheive that.

Wow, I can't believe I overlooked the fact that he was in first position with 5 people seeing the flop, I think this is the perfect spot for a check raise.

This table was pretty agressive (finished in 60 minutes which is way shorter than most UB Sngs) I was planning on betting and then someone with a jack would raise me. I hate check raising becuase it basically says I have a set and a lot of these guys are in bet the pot or bet min mode so bet min and reraising basically gives out my hand and only wins me a BB.

Once again I see a player pretending that his opponents have functioning poker brains. If you check raise, they aren't going to start thinking "oh my god I think he has a set, I better be careful with my top pair and or flush draw". Instead they will think "Wow my hand looks pretty, I have a pair or I have a flush draw" and then gladly put their money in the pot.

There is a reason they are playing at the $20 tables and not the $100s - $200s.

Nice post, except I don't see how calling TP + Flush draw is bad. :P Now, TP or flush draw is a much different story.
