thought process:
1. there are lots of draws on the board
2. people don't often fold draws even with poor pot odds
3. people often raise draws and I'll have to fold
4. summary of 1-3: it's likely that either or both of these players have something so my folding equity is too samll so I should check-fold

I agree that our folding equity is small, but combined with the fact that we could have as many as 10 outs I think this is worth a bet.

One could also argue that we have odds for a check/call on the flop.

I'm definatly going to but in a bet here, and I want to be the bettor, I'll call a raise on the flop and dump the turn ui though.

I really think our fold equity's higher than you guys are making it out to be here.

I usually be this flop, follow up on the turn if it's HU at that moment and c/f against 2 opponents.
