Re: multiple forks in the road
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] i didn't want anyone else calling one bet so i checkraised. right after i did it i thought "wow, that's a pretty bad play" [/ QUOTE ] Really? I like that play. Maybe I need to reevaluate, here, because this doesn't look bad to me at all. SpaceAce [/ QUOTE ] well, what i mean to say is i didn't like it.. but i don't see what else i could do. after i checked i think it was the clear play, but after i did it i thought only better hands would call, and i might actually lose worse hands.

[/ QUOTE ] Possibly, but what hands do you have in such bad shape that you're really sad if they fold? A King that made it this far is probably not going anywhere but I think you're glad to fold out almost anything else you can and take your hand up against the late position turn bettor since you think he's not holding much of a hand.

Re: multiple forks in the road
Preflop is fine. Given that you have no info on the opponents, I agree with Barron that calling is better than 3-betting.
On this kind of flop, I would typically go for a check-raise. Essentially, it all depends on the PFR's position. Given that the PFR is third to act (out of four), I expect the action behind me to go check, bet, call, so then my check-raise would hopefully get BB to fold and extract value out of the other two. Had the PFR been last to act, the check-raise would be even more correct because most players would check to the PFR, so my check-raise would then clear out the field. Had the PFR been in the BB, betting the flop would have been the best course of action because you then want the PFR's raise to clear out the field. As it stands, the BB made a surprising bet, everyone called, so now you must check-raise to extract value. After that, I would bet the turn.
