set hand, F or T CR?

Usually I post hands that I think I have screwed up. This one I think I played in a standard good way, but I want to make sure that what I think is right!

The only question really is would you CR the flop or turn?

PFR on the Button is a good agressive player.

I would bet the flop hoping to 3 bet. I don't c/r b/c we're going to fold out the guys inbetween who are likely drawing near dead.

Checking the turn sucks. Button will check through a ton of overcard hands.

with 2 players between me and him, I bet/call the flop hoping for a raise from button. I think on this board, you want to trap MP2 and CO for calls early on.

edit: i might bet/3-bet depending on the action between.

Here's a few good rules I follow when flop big hands:

1. If the flop has three players or more, I'm coming to life on the flop. I'm not waiting for the turn.

2. If I'm getting aggressive on the flop, my basic thought is whether a bet or a check-raise will get more money in. The best general idea is to simply decide who is the most likely flop bettor (if there isn't one, you should just bet). If there are more players between you and the likely better on your left , then your should bet, because that'll likely face the most players with one small bet at a time. If there are more players between you and the likely better on your right , then you should check-raise.

Here we have five players, two of who have to act after us and before the button pre-flop raiser. So we bet.

Getting raised would rule. I think the interesting question is whether it's better to three-bet if we get raised or to call and donk the turn. Personally, I like calling and donking the turn.

Betting out does put them in a scary position though. Most people recognize the danger of the Button raising. Won't many hands fold there to my bet?

Glad to be of service...

I think you will get some calls often. Some players just have to see that turn and often don't account for the probable raise from the PFR, or they may have caught a piece of the board.
