No way betting the flop into 4 players, one of whom is a TAG cold calling button is completely standard. I'm not saying it's incorrect, but we should rethink this. We are getting 10.4:1 and our folding equity is probably somewhere near 24:1; this board is ideal for betting the flop, being uncoordinated as [censored], but with four other players, a bet usually chases out those hands that aren't better than us, while those that are call, giving us pretty bad equity.

What's wrong with chasing out hands we beat here? With Ace high I'd prefer to have KQ fold the flop.

Folding all 4 players in unlikely, I do agree with that. But even if we fold just 2 players, I think the flop bet is worth it, plus, we keep control of th hand.

On this board, do you really want to check call? Thats spewing. Bet this flop, you were the pfr, it's only logical.

Ya, I would rather check/call 35% of the time to a CO or button bet and take my free card 65% of the time when I'm drawing. In other words, I would rather pay .35 BB to see the turn than 1

We'll never know. Both players folded. In retrospect though I don't much like the way I played the turn. With a CO who would probably check, and a BB who probably wouldn't stick around on a flop like that without something of a hand, I think taking a free card was the better play.

I've recently dropped down from 15/30 to 5/10, and I'm surprised by the over-passitivity of a lot of my opponents. I think its making me a bit LAGGY [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
