On a Monday morning a bet on this flop has a pretty good chance to win you the pot, IF the pot is rather small. I don't know if its the case here. Against 4 opponents, its definitely a -EV move IMO.

On this flop I try to check and see how the action develops. The thing about the flop bet is so many hands can call you on a Q88 two-toned flop (T9, two diamonds, JT, any queen, AK, etc.) and you can very easily get counterfeited here, which is why if the pot stays multiway on the flop I advise you to fold. If it somehow gets to be you and the PFR heads-up on the flop I would often continue but proceed carefully.

On the river I think you get called by ace high or better here everytime so I think I check/fold but I'm not completely positive (the pot is sizeable, so I'd probably need to know more about what he's raising with).

Eh, I'm just check-folding this flop. The only time I'd continue if it was bet by the preflop raiser and folded around to me.

Ya, tough against four opponents, but possible.

The existance of a preflop raiser makes this yet more difficult to pull off not only because the pot is bigger, but because he might have a big pair and if he does, he's probably going to call down.

I would have passed this one by. If the flop got checked through which often happens on these flops, a bet on the turn might be warrented and thats often more successful in general also.
