Re: empire 55r
I'd have either bet the flop or folded the turn.
Betting the flop is risky but doable. Because you have jacks, KJ is unlikely, and AK usually reraises, so only KQ is a likely hand here (actually since it's Empire, they're all unlikely). I don't terribly mind checking, but I bet specifically because I don't want to deal with that kind of turn.
So you check, a king comes, and MP1 bets. He either has QQ or TT, with a slight but significant chance of AK/air. You've a somewhat over 50% chance of being behind to him alone, and there are 2 others in with two flush draws, plus he's betting into 3 of you. Oh, and you can't call a river bet. I just fold this.
The river's an autocheck if you get that far.
