Flop Top Pair, Weak Kicker from Blinds -- Bet Out?
This is a theoretical example, but I want some feedback on how you all play this flop.
Hero is in SB with Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
Six Players Limp
Hero Completes
BB Checks

SB ???
In my newbie-SSH-land, here's my gut-reaction here:
I bet out because I have top pair and therefore good pot equity, which I hope to increase with some folds.
I also fold to 2 bets back at me, and consider folding to a re-raise by a good player. I possibly call 1 raise (to avoid "bet-fold to aggression stigma" and see what the turn brings.
What are your thoughts?
