CO is 25/3 on 33 hands, 2,0AF. SB is 22/7 with 2.1 AF.

I have thought a lot about this and have come to the conclusion I should Bet/Fold turn mini-bet/Fold Blank river. I will try to explain why.

When I played this hand I wanted value from Good Hands that would bet turn but if I bet here my hand looks like a flush and I thought I would be in a tricky spot IF I got raised which I could imagine one of these villains doing with a 1 Card FD. I decided if CO has Jx my best line to get value from him would be to Check/Call turn and 1/2potbet/fold river and I could get out of the hand if SB shoved after CO bets.

However, Check/Calling or Check/Raising turn just presents me with too many problems, tricky spots and overreps my hand, but by bet/folding turn mini-bet/folding river I get value out of 1-Card FD's Jx will be scared to Raise me but won't resist calling so I don't need to be afraid of folding the best hand and I know exactly where I stand.

Agree with my eventual conclusion?

In this situation i would check/bet on the flop (as You did). On the turn i would bet 3/4 of pot to clear out the situation. If one of opponents had J - i would get just call from his side. And if one of opponents would had flush - the pot would be raised from his side. One more thing why to bet on the turn - one of opponents may have spide on hands and we have weak flush on hands, so there is no reason to give free card for opponents. On the river i probably play c/c.


lead out flop, no need to c/c oop with bad flushdraw
b/f turn is likely on, although if he min-raises or raises small then I tend to call and decide river, since he can easily raise turn Jx with flushdraw
you´re pot against 3 other players, so it is very reasonable that someone holds flush, so i think c/f is better than min-bet that looks weak and could induce raise from worse hands
