Final Pot: 4.50 BB

Getting effectivly 8-1, i'm curious how many people bet this flop if the blinds check.

Re: Who continuation bets?
 

you can check/call if you want, because you're probably gonna need to see a T to win this one.

Not I

I often do and need to stop, at least on a board like that. That said, I think it is good for metagame to sometimes check after raising pf when you HAVE hit your hand, especially against aggressive cc'ers. Nothing like c/ring those jackasses and using their aggression against them.

not with 4 players, without a read

Re: Who continuation bets?
 

I bet here.

Check/call, check/fold unimproved the turn. A C/R is an option if you have weak tight oppenents and they will give you a free river card as well. But that requires some good knowledge of your oppenents. Betting out is just plain silly.

You are likely folding only the hands that you are already ahead of. Someone here has an ace, and they ain't folding.
