You're going to get about 98% bet, 1% check, and one smart-ass asking for a "fold" choice

You know, I knew this would be the result. And I don't understand it. People here seem to regard SSH as the "bible" of small stakes holdem. Is betting out in this situation advocated by SSH? Can anyone point me to an example in SSH that illustrates this?

I do a lot of autobetting after a pfr, but this is one I would just as soon get away from. I'm not running all 6 opponents out of this hand. I'll call one bet and fold the turn unimproved.

Check. Many in the pot, coordinated board, out of position to get a free card. Betting is too risky.

ditto. either people hit their hand or have overcards. you will get likely get called in a lot of places.. someone may raise with a hand or draw. check and fold if its 2 bets to you. if I were closer to the button, I would just check and hope for a free card.

Re: Flop decision poll
 

I said check, the reasons to bet would be for -

1) value
2) clean up overcard outs
3) get a free card

None of those apply here. Check/call 1 bet back.

Re: Flop decision poll
 

Board texture sucks here. That being said, it also depends on the type of game you're in. I've played in a lot where when I raise preflop and autobet the flop, 90% of the field folds. If I'm in the type of game where they autocall my autobet, I'm checking here, and hoping to see the turn for one bet max.

Readless, I probably autobet, but it's not the best board for it. Like the rest of you, I'm working on dealing with overcard hands.
