88 SB, overpair

Tough spot. In the heat of the moment I'd probably just bet out the flop, but I like your line better. It's worth risking it getting checked through (or an EP bet) because CRing here is so attractive. I agree that just calling the flop bet is betting than CRing the whole field.

On the turn, I think I like donk/fold, although check/fold is a close second. I guess it comes down to how likely the other players are to just call the flop with top pair (as a lot of passive players would do with a weak pair). The problem is, what if it gets checked to a LP player who now bets? If you CR, you could end up isolating yourself against a 6 or a flush draw with two overcards. On one hand you are drawing very thin, and on the other your equity still isn't great.

Ideally, I'd donk the turn and only get a caller or two, then I'd check the river and get a free showdown. Sounds silly, but really passive players are great for crap like this.

Given your line, I like your fold.

I like betting the turn here and folding to a raise from BB.
Check/folding to BBs bet on the turn is bad IMHO. He could be betting 5s, 3s, 7s, A4s, and things like that.

Nice hand.

Bet/3-betting, check/raising...or anything else that dumps a bunch of money into a very multiway pot with a medium overpair and no real draw on a coordinated board is really bad poker for anyone suggesting that your flop c/c is bad.

I think in the game you described you have two outs on the turn most of the time. Even if you have the best hand ~20% of the time (and I think that's on the high side honestly) you'll get rivered half of that. Basically, you're usually behind here and very vulnerable when your not.

I like your line here. On the turn with 3 people your probably behind. Your hand just doesnt have the showdown value against that many players. Especially with TP making trips on the turn.

it looks pretty good, but by check-calling the flop-you have no idea where you stand in the hand, I would have chose to bet this flop. Depending on who called on the flop, i would bet/fold the turn. If no raise, I check the river/call with no heart.
