I've been in this situation a lot lately. Early position and I flop a small top pair or middle pair with a good kicker against ~3 opponents. If I bet, I generally get a fold from one player and a call flop/raise turn line from the second player. So lately I've been checking this hand and just giving up if I don't hit two pair or trips. Is this weak or correct?

Hey MP87,

I think i have to agree with you for the most part. I dont think we can bet the flop here because those guys love to limp with Ax hands. The turn is a pretty good card for our hand but still im afraid of somebody with an Ax here wich he didnt bet on the flop.

On the river i cant fold anymore i think. I would have played b/f because nobody showed any strenght and you have a chance to get called with alot off hands we still beat.


Hi MP87,

waiting for twopair or better is too weak. Toppair should do it as well. :)

I like bet/folding the turn here. Maybe someone didn't bet his ace on the flop but giving 3 opponents another freecard is nothing what I like. (Even if it doesn't matter that much in such a small pot.)
Checking the tur is ok as well but then bet/fold this river as you won't get a bet that often from a worse hand but they will often call you now.
