42s turns big draw

[Rooger]

Satellite to Saturday Special - around 70 left of 280 starters, seats to 11.
No real reads on villains, table has been pretty weak-tight for the orbits I've been sitting here.

How do you play this? Do you lead the flop? Check-raise? With 5 people in the pot, I think someone will bet behind me, but can't be sure, and I'd hate to see this checked to a blank turn.

Hero?

I like check/calling here since if you semibluff bet, it'll be a lot more expensive to see the turn if anyone had anything to pay you off with anyways.

I check this based on position and the sheer amount of people in there. Best case everyone checks thru and an ace falls on the turn, worst case, there is a bet and raise in front of you. You got 15 outs here, and probably have the best shot of winning the hand as long as a better flush isn't out there. So check call any decent sized bet and see what the turn does, sounds weak, but I like it here.

IMHO, you're stack's no good to play this aggressively, check/call flop.

I lead the flop, because I'm looking to get all my chips in the middle here and I want to be the last one to bet. I'd lead for 400 and push if I get raised. Its also the best way to get the pot multiway.
