...you are in a loose passive game against a few opponents, there was no pre-flop raise and you have medium suited connectors like 98s. The flop comes something like 632 one of your suit and:
1) You are first to act.
2) There is a bet in front of you and players to act behind you.
3) You are last to act and there was a bet in front of you plus a caller or two.
4) You are last to act and it is checked to you.
I have frequently found myself in these situations and really don't have a clue so I usually wimp-out and:
1) check-fold
2) fold fearing a raise
3) fold but sometimes call for no particular reason other than I don't know which is correct.
4) check
Are these "overcards" plus maybe a backdoor straight and/or flush worth anything?
Flame away!,
