No reads on mp2, the cap from UTG+1 means he has 2 cards.

Party Poker 2/4 Hold'em (10 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Preflop: Hero is SB with K, A.
1 fold, UTG+1 calls, 2 folds, MP2 raises, 3 folds, Hero 3-bets, 1 fold, UTG+1 caps, MP2 calls, Hero calls.

Flop: (13 SB) Q, 8, 9 (3 players)
Hero bets, UTG+1 calls, MP2 raises, Hero calls, UTG+1 calls.

Turn: (9.50 BB) J (3 players)
Hero checks, UTG+1 checks, MP2 bets, Hero calls, UTG+1 raises, MP2 calls, Hero calls.

River: (15.50 BB) 6 (3 players)
Hero checks, UTG+1 checks, MP2 checks.

Final Pot: 15.50 BB

at least i got a free showdown =\

Can I forgo the flop bet and just fold when its two back to me?

Fit or fold, what's the fit part mean? Would checking this flop be better, seeing how someone is certainly going to bet, and if comes two bets to you do you let it go?
Come give me advice.

I represented a big hand preflop. The pot is huge on the flop. Folding for one bet is bad. I don't want to call two cold, so I lead out. I don't have a made hand (fit) but there are a ton of cards that could fall on the turn that make my holding look alot better.

Y.

That wasn't the sole reason for leading out and was probably way down on the list. It just got stuck in that sentence in my ramble. Reasons for leading out a) huge pot b) clean up some outs/fold weak hands c) i have a pretty strong draw d)i dont want to call two cold

IS THIS GOOT REASONING Y/N?

If he folds the turn it had better be a misclick!
