Keep firing with AK (sooted!) or just give up ?

Not a terrible board for a missed slick. Underplayed or correctly cautious with so many in. Do I keep going? Bet the flop? Or keep 'em in so if I hit I have them outkicked? UTG is a little loose, but otherwise no reads worth mentioning.

I think I'd follow up with a flop bet here. Although it's not likely your hand is best at the moment in a field of 5 players, betting may buy the button and get you a free card on the next street.

I might fire one off on the flop you might thin the field and buy the button but if you do that and get callers your going to have good enough pot odds to call a turn bet so it kind of commits you to the hand. The flop missed you big time I like your line.

Another vote for a flop bet, but given that you didn't i think this is pretty cool.

I like to bet any time I would be getting odds to call - not having any clubs might make me think twice though.

I usually bet this flop in hopes to knock a few people out, buy the button, and maybe even get a free card.
