Don't know what to do here. Check-fold turn? Check-call? Try and keep the pot small? I'm lost.

Check-fold. Best scenario would be TPTK and flush draw. There's probably a set though.

I had a similar scenario earlier today with an AA hand on a flop of Q35 with a flush draw visible. Two other players calling my big flop bet and allin on the turn (they were shorter-stacked than I was) - turned out 1 guy had KQ and the other had QT...sometimes it's really tough to tell whether or not you are ahead because of crap like that (which of course having two top-pair fish calling you down is a wonderful thing).

In this case - I don't see how you get away from QQ here versus a slow-played set unless you just check-fold as you said (who does that?) - mainly because of the third person in the pot and you the baloney in the sandwich. You check and #3 there checks - crap you just gave a free card to the flush draw.

I'm guessing here Darkness is the one on the draw - and alm has just got top pair (why would he just call your reraise there with a set and a flush draw apparent and the other guy likely to be chasing it - hell he's giving odds to the first guy to chase darn him!

BankItDrew will become famous soon enough

In an $18 pot when it's your turn and you have 3 other people in the pot with flush and straight potential on the board - drop the hammer! I'm talking a $20 - $25 bet here, not some $13 easy call bet...

If you bet $13 into an $18 pot, the guy to your right now has the option of investing $13 into a $31 pot, with two others to still make a move. Don't give anyone these great pot odds or you'll be loosing by the turn.

Come give me advice.

Maybe a push AI on the flop would have been a good idea then, because I'm not worried about AA or KK w/out the preflop raise.

If villain calls the hammer on the flop, and the turn is:

rags: overbet the possible draw for the river. If the river is a scare card, value bet. If the river is rags, value bet. Reconsider your position if raised.

scare card (ie. K, A, s): check. If villain bets here, consider it's worth in calling and reconsider your position.
