99 MP raised two callers

How often should I lead the flop here? Or at the very least lead the turn after the flop checks around?

this really depends on the players and your image, do you expect these players to call if they dont have an ace? if not fire away, there are no strong draws.

Villian had TT which was the reason I was second guessing my play.

- Be less willing to c-bet flops with a lot of draws. I almost always check a JsTsXc flop when I miss 77, having raised before the flop.
- Be more willing to c-bet when you have outs, (like AK on a QJx board where you have at least a gutshot and tainted overcards).

From these guidelines, checking looks fine to me. It is a multiway pot, you don't have position, and have only 2 outs.

you played it fine. there's no real need to bet. just try and see a cheap showdown like you did.

it's 3 handed and you don't even have position. an A and a K is as scary as it gets. a K could check the flop and turn, but will probs call a turn bet.
