Borgata 20-40 Hand

[afish]

The problem with slowplaying the flop is the number of scare cards that can come on the turn (e.g., any spade or any 10, J, or Q). I'd probably lead the flop, since the button could easily check behind if he has a hand like QQ. Once the button bets and three people call behind the better, it is time to raise and trap everyone in for multiple bets. Going for the check raise on the turn is just leaving money on the table. On the turn, it could be checked through, or folks could start releasing their hands.

I agree with the turn bet, but that is why you should have bet or check raised the flop.

On the river, I'd raise. SB will call the raise, and I can't see getting more than one overcall if you didn't raise. Thus, at worst, raising is neutral.
