 What are you afraid of? T7? 57? Or that your raises will not get paid?

I often find myself in this situation too. I think the best move is to bet 1/2 pot here, to root out any draws that the turn may have created. That way, if you get raised, you can probably get all your money in since your opponent most probably doesn't have a straight at this point.

If I were in his shoes after you had checked I would bet this flop with an over pair, TPGK or if I had paired the flop and put you on overcards. I could also see him having suited connectors and pairing the flop with a straight draw. So a, 56s or 67s is plausible.

I still think you are ahead after the turn and I would bet out about half the pot since there are 10 good outs to catch up if he had something like 57s. I woldn't want to check/raise it here since that card might scare him off of betting and he might take a free card and draw out on you.

i would probably lead at that flop. there are 4 other people in the pot, at least one of which has to think their hand is good, or at least good enough to call a 1/2 pot bet. you may even get lucky and get raised. plus, this disguises your hand a little bit.

I would have open raised this preflop.

Since you just limped in and no one raised preflop lead out with a bet on the flop - check raising here would just give your hand away.

The way it has been played, I would not want to be playing for a big pot here so check call a small bet on the turn - only call a big bet on the turn if you think he will pay you off if you hit your full house on the river.

Whats the problem? Try and get your money in.

Lead the flop, you're missing out on value.

Why not? I know it's a power play, but you have to be capable of using it with big hands (which you represent) as well as with weaker ones. That said...

I pot the flop when it's on me. If you are worried about it folding around everytime here, then your range for leading the flop like this probably needs to be expanded on. Go for the stacks...

I don't think that is a good flop when it has been limped in preflop and you have four opponents in with you.
