hey

with 6 opp. on the flop..i'm checking and hoping to raise an LP bet.

I would not lead off the flop with middle pair + gutshot into a bunch of opponents. You'll have the right odds to call a bet, but I don't think you have the equity to bet yourself.

I don't understand what you were trying to accomplish on the river.

Me neither. Unless the table is uber-weak, any K is just going to make a crying call every time.

I've been increasingly incorporating this into my play, and I like the results. This looks like a good situation for it.

I don't know what you're trying to do on the river, but I'd be floored if you actually got everyone to fold.

On the river...

I may have the best hand. I played the hand like a flush draw.

I decided to call a bet, so why not bet out and fold to a raise?

I suppose the chance they both fold is minute. Is there a chance it checks through and I save a bet?

[Sasnak]

Check the flop and look to CR. Betting out gives 7:1 pot odds and anyone holding anything is almost correct to call.

Turn is what I'd do looking to hit my Q/T or J.

River is a check/fold. With three others still in the hand and calling down, 2nd pair can't be good enough times to make this a profitable call on this board. A weak K can beat you and someone is drawing to the flush.

[Watain]

Don´t like the flop bet, since you out of position. It might get raised by someone with a pair of kings and i surely won´t blow anyone out with a queen, most likely with a better kicker than yours. Neither anyone with a straight or flush draw.

I would fold on the turn. You might complete your straight on the river, but all hearts are dirty. The tens are also really dirty since the could give someone a straight. Furthermore you are likely to be behind if a non-usable cards falls...

Can´t se the idea behind the river bet??

What do you generally do if someone else bets. I'm sure it's board/read dependent, but let's take this board. Someone to your immediate left bets, everyone calls. Hero?

Just trying to get an idea of what the backup plan typically is here.

I would usually call this. It's possible that you have the best hand, but if not a jack or queen will often give you the best hand. Raising will not eliminate players so I think calling is better here, especially since you are closing the action.

This one is a bit read dependent. Players will often bet here with a draw particularly where there are straight and flush draws available. I would probably raise and lead the turn. Calling and check/folding the turn would also be a decent way to play it, especially if the player is somewhat passive.
