Hey Fmmaker,

Preflop iso-raise is good.

We probably don't want to jam the flop like this 4-way. It's actually better to bet very small for protection and play underbet/fold. So we could bet something like $0.17 and fold to a raise.

I see. Do you say that on this situation, given we have 3 diamonds on the flop or does it apply to rainbow flop as well ?
Usually a re-raise means they have 2pairs+ or could they just be re-raising with KK or QQ ?

The three diamonds on the board makes the situation a lot thinner. It would be way less bad on a rainbow texture.

It would also be less bad if we were heads up. When 4 guys see a flop it's much more likely someone has outflopped us.

And then finally there is just generally no need to overbet, usually better to make regular sized bets unless we have a specific reason to overbet.
