Re: leading with middle set on turn OOP vs two opponents

i don't like the flop check-raise, especially when you're giving great odds on a draw heavy board. i'd lead for $8 and likely 3-bet all-in if raised.

What do you do it you get two callers on the flop and the same K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] turn? I assume a pot-sized bet on the turn and then give it up if they both come along and the river brings a heart.
I chose to check raise since I was confident someone would open with a raise behind me and I could get a big bet in but I wasn't confident anyone would reraise if I opened. I'm just starting out in this game and would love to hear your thoughts on this.

Slowplaying is overrated and there are times for it. This is not one of those times. Pot the turn. Another Ace I move in and don't expect AK to turn up. Another heart that doesn't pair the board, i'm a little worried and most likely check/call a reasonable bet. I probably only check a board if the board is extremely drawless. An example for this hand would be K95 rainbow. This is the type of board you can checkraise. Only time I check on a heavy drawing board is with 5-6 players when I'm willing to take a chance and if it checks around reanalyze my situation. Just my thoughts, but pot this turn.
