I probably lead the turn here. I fold to the river push, could be a bluff, could be repping a bluff.

I like firing at these flops. Depending on the type of opps though, checking is not bad. If you have the "call with any A" type seeing that flop, I go into shutdown mode.

Leading the turn is not bad.

Looks like MP3 hit his flush and is too dumb to be able to extract max value from you.

bet the flop, how often do they expect you to have an ace here?
otherwise if they are the type of donk who calls your raise with any ace the find in front of them then check/lead turn/fold river.

If people expect you to bet and you have something worth betting then do so, if they come back at you then you know youre no good regardless of what you hold. If they call then you have to use a little thinming/skill but not much if you add stats in.

i don't like checking the flop - If they have an ace you will find out w/out losing too much - However, if they are in there with a KQs kind of hand and you check 2x all of a sudden they might be thinking 2nd pair is good - How many times do you NOT bet in a 3 way pot when checked to twice? I would bet there with 2nd pair or any kind of draw - But if you lead the flop they may fold weak aces since your repping good strength -

Since you checked twice, I would prefer you check/fold the turn bet instead of check/calling...This, IMO, is definitely where the "calling is weak" comes into play - you either want to bet or fold -

don't get too down on yourself though - its only 1 hand
