Hi all,

Stats of the opponents aren't very important for this sort of situation IMO. My default line is just to lead out and fold to a raise.

Why lead out here vs 3 opponents? If it is as a bluff, why bluff vs 3 oppts? If for value, our hand is not yet made.

Hi all,

It's a semi-bluff. We do it because it adds a way for us to win the pot. We are bet/folding because we have a lot of reverse implied odds if we bet/call, however if we get our opponents to call the flop with whatever hand we can force them to fold on a lot of scary turn cards (or just make the best hand).

On which turn you don't bet?

Hey, it depends on who calls and what our thoughts on them are. I am usually not betting a 6. But if our opponents are unlikely to have many 6x in their range then I will bet that card also. A 3 and a 2 are also cards I would shut down on if, for example, BB had called (assuming the other 2 are less likely to have 3s and 2s).

If our opponents are quite loose players then this does not mean I will shut down more often. I think loose players often will peel us with some sort of gutshot on the flop, and if they are loose then they'll have a lot of combinations of these hands. Consequently I'll just empty the clip against them on this board with so much potential on later streets to either bluff or get there.
