My reasoning for just calling flop was to try and get money in from the other two guys

There aren't any draws, with that action you are usually getting folds or a push.

Why should he be more inclined to protect his hand on drawless flops than on boards where his opponents could actually have hands he needs to protect against?

If someone checks a strong hand and gets a raise and a call behind, I don't think they are usually calling.

And once again, why do you want to make people fold when they are drawing dead?

I see your point, but I was putting MP2 on the overpair, not UTG+1 or MP1.

Hero played this fine IMO. Flop is pretty dry. I woulda bet a little more on the turn though, like 65-70.

Hero said he wanted to keep others in, and his flop call does just that. He didnt want to isolate, so he made a read about what he though was best and chose the best line to do so.

looks like your flop call kind of slowed him down.. i dont mind the bet at all on the turn.

this thread is really confusing.

as it is, if you think he has an OP then i:
call flop
2/3rds the pot or raise A-I on turn.
if i've still got money its going in on river

I raise flop to 100 but they way you played it is OK too since there is no flush draw. But I still dont like it becuase some1 may call with gutshot and stack you.

I don't see it as a bad thing if someone makes a -EV chase against me...
