Default Re: TPNK in the SB

Preflop: I think this is fine. With 4 others in the pot you have plenty of implied odds IMO.

Flop: I like check/raising here. The button could be betting a wide range of hands, and your raise is likely to clear out weak pairs and draws. If the bet comes from your left my decision would depend upon what I know about the bettor and if I have a backdoor flush draw to go with my hand. In most cases, however, I'm not folding to a bet from my left in a small stakes game.

Turn: After check/raising the flop I think you must bet the turn. Your opponent might easily have a hand like JT and you wouldn't want to give him a free card. Similarly, your opponent could easily hold a hand like QT and you wouldn't want to miss a bet by playing passively.
