You are sitting in BB with T2s or SB with 98s with 3 other limpers.

Flop is 2 to your suit how do you play this hand in general? I usually bet pot ($1 on $25NL with3 or 4 people) and that will weed out mostly all but 1 who calls. Blank turn is where I get stuck. 1/2 pot? Check/fold? Check/call? Check/raise? Pot?

Usually I'll check here unless I am up against known weak players. Fairly often, even if they bluff they'll give me decent enough odds to call. With suited overcards I might semi-bluff.

In EP, you don't have any information other than the preflop action. Someone may have hit top pair, or two pair, or a set, in which case they will raise your bet and have you investing twice into a pot that you will only win 36% of the time.

Unless your opponents are known weak opponents, don't bet into them with a draw, call their bets if it is worth your while.

Are you on the forums doing the werewolves again?

you wanna bet with your draws in position so you have the option to take a free card on the turn when they check to you.

Ding, Ding, Ding! We have a winner!! Don't bet into 3 opponents, and certainly don't bluff into 3 opponents.
One exception, you better have a monster read.
Playing live . . . thanks alot Bin Laden.

I think def the read is the most important one.Smart players will recognize your charade and will push.

Pushing into an unraised pot because somone led pot into a possible draw board is suicide.

More often than not, I pot the flop and check the turn unimproved, but reads + table texture matter a lot here. The bet is to get a pot built and semi-bluff. With a call-happy field, checking might be a better line.
