Dont always have to fold KQo from early position, or do you have to adjust to the table?
I would check the flop but I imagine the correct thing to do is raise for value?

I checked. The flop missed me pretty badly but I've got overcards and backdoor flush and straight draws so I neither mind if it gets checked through, nor do I mind calling a bet from either MP1 or MP2 (I expected one of them to bet). Check-check-check, MP3 bets. My action?

Fold? You're not beating anything.

I would only fold KQo if there was a raise ahead of me from a serious rock, and maybe not even then.

Dont overcards have only a slightly +EV even with all the right conditions (pot odds, small number of players)? With the adition of the backdoor flush I would porbably call but If I just have overcards and I am being good I will fold.

Pot's too big too fold.

If a raise might make the guys behind you fold an Ace or a 2 or a 6, or hand like 44, I say raise it up. I don't really like calling. (Unless no one will fold in a million years.)

In your reads which guy is MP3?

I wouldn't hate betting this flop, but I don't hate checking it either. If there were one less player I would fire away, but there comes a point where you're just auto-betting because you raised pre-flop.

When it's too crowded this becomes a bad bet. (As I'm sure you're aware, I'm just saying.)

i'll have to think about whether to bet or check, but i wouldn't consider it an autobet with overcards and 2 backdoors plus i would love to fold any K, Q or A along the way if possible.

No good read on MP3, he hadn't been around long but seemed to fit in with the table...loose-passive.

I understand this, and I agree. I'd have no problem if you bet this flop.

All I'm saying is there's a point where a bet becomes less attractive with the more opponents involved. I didn't want people to start/continue betting this kind of flop against 6 opponents simply because they raised pre-flop.

Carry on.
