Re: A good example of a casual mistake.

With so many players in I'd try to check-raise the flop here to drive out as many as I could for 2 cold. Flush draws ain't going nowhere, but straight draws might go away as might middle pairs who want to catch on the turn. This is a good place for a weaky-weak draw c-r on the flop. If you get reraised you can probably see the turn cheap and fold unimproved. So I don't really like the flop bet. A s it is you got 2 folders which is goot. on the turn it's worth betting.

This is not bad reasoning but there is still the problem of the large field, which you seek to thin with the CR, and the relatively small pot. A flop check is the way to go for sure and if the bet comes from late position then you can try to thin the field if you decide to continue with this hand. If the bet comes from your left a check-fold is better. But at any rate check the flop and see what shakes out.
