Check the flop and hope someone bets into me on the turn? Bet pot? half-pot? thoughts?

Prima Network No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (6 handed)

BB ($13.84)
UTG ($8.01)
MP ($7.14)
CO ($7.98)
Hero ($27.25)
SB ($9.55)

Preflop: Hero is Button with [Kh], [Kd].
UTG raises to $0.2, 1 fold, CO calls $0.20, Hero raises to $1.2, 1 fold, BB calls $1.10, UTG calls $1, CO calls $1.

Flop: ($4.85) [9s], [Kc], [9h] (4 players)
BB checks, UTG checks, CO checks, Hero ??

don't raise with the straight flush bro, nobody ever gonna call that shit
allin, reload, repeat

You would have to assume that someone has something with that many people to the flop given you re raise pre and so many callers. Bet it out, you're trying to get it all in somehow, if you check the flop you'll never get it done.

I started a new job so don't play much ATM, just FTP mini grind

this one took me a long time to learn. and, i still occasionally forget.

**the most common way to get a stack is to BET.**

sure, sometimes the stars line up and you get it in when they have 99 here, but more times than not, you need to bet.

if you slowplay and wait until the turn, you've lost exponential money. you need to try to build a pot now. if he has anything worth playing, he will come along. if you are lucky, he will raise you, thinking he can bluff you off.

checking this one down, hoping for him to indicate he has a hand, will win you a couple of bucks. but, i want a stack with this hand. if i dont get it, oh well.

i dont even slowplay quads as a rule anymore, especially below 100NL.

LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!

bet, bet, bet. If somebody is holding a 9 they will give you action, and possibly a K if they are stupid. I think bet $2 on flop.
