Default Re: smooth or stupid?

Checkraising the flop was strong, you're getting the right odds on the bet and unless AX [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] is out putting a lot of money in with your draw on the flop 4 ways is a winning proposition. However, when the turn misses you, you have to change gears, you now want to minimize the money that goes in since you've gone from a 2:1 dog to a 4:1 dog. Trying to bluff with this many players in the hand in a typical loose online game seems destined to fail. If you think about likely holdings for your opponents at least some of them have hands that will be hard to let go of. CO probably has something along the lines of KQ and its not unlikely that someone holds AX [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], in which case you're jamming with a hand that is drawing nearly or completely dead. Check-call the turn seems like be far the strongest play.
