I knew monkies have learned sign language...but they are playing poker now?

Check flop with the intention of raising preflop raiser (this should build a nice pot). Check turn, again with the intention of raising (depending on where bet comes...might want to just call). Bet river.

i think you have to bet here. the odds are just too good other players got a piece of this flop.

My line-- bet-call. check-raise turn. lead river.

ok, but when i spring to life on a later street i might as well play my hand face up, right?

Maybe. But by then the pot will be big and you'll get "oh, well, the pot is big, I'll call" calls.

Definitely don't bet out on the flop.

canterbury 15/30 (9 handed)
4 monkies limp, i complete in the SB with JTo, BB (a guy who seems to play decent) raises, all call.

Flop: JTT

what's the best plan here?

i typically bet monsters to disguise them, but here my postion sucked, so i checked. the flop checked around. the turn was some brick. i checked again, BB bet, UTG called, all else folded, i raised and both guys folded.

Wow. Raise the turn alot more on draws. Sounds like that kind of game.

First, you HAVE TO check this flop. The PFR will bet out a lot of the time. After this happens the monkeys will will call with all sorts of stuff with no correlatin to the baord, and then you c/r. The pot will now be big enough that they have to chase their gotshots to the river, and if they hit them, you are in the money. If a bunch of the players fold, you might consider waking up on the turn, but this might not work out so well because people will be suspicious, so just c/r the flop.
