I know this looks like a pretty routine hand, but would you have bet this flop and check/fold the turn like seen above, or just save a small bet and check/fold the flop? i'm kind of debating the flop bet now, because i doubt a single bet would knock out 3 other players, and any callers would probably have me beat. what do you all think?
