Voted lead. Would like to take it down now and the paired board make it less likely that it hit someone.

check call. id like to avoid getting raised or check raised if someone has a king here. plus checking can induce a bluff from someone, who when called, will probably put us on slowplaying a king or generally having the best hand. even if we miss the draw, we can take it away later if they dont have the k and slow down. we’ll have gained value and controlled the pot.

100% agree.

I’m betting here – something low, maybe half the pot, around 1500 or so. Reason being that this flop probably didn’t hit opponents and most likely we’ll end up taking it down now, which is fine with me. Sometimes a smallish bet size on a board like this is a warning sign to opponents that you really want them to call, so they fold thinking you must have the king. Really the only way someone stays in is if they have a king, and even then we could hit the flush for the win if they don’t boat up. If our bet gets raised here though I’d think about folding if it was a large raise. In that case its either a tricky opponent pushing us off the hand or someone has the king indeed.

I’d check-call depending on the bet size. Hero’s image works against leading into a multi-player pot. UTG likely has a pair or slow-playing AK, and will likely call or CR. Have to respect the paired board as well, so I’d like to control pot-size. Have position on the raiser so check it, hope that the last players does also, and eval the turn.

Lead here..Just to see where I’m at..If i get reraised it will be on my judgement to put the raiser on a hand..It said we playing alot of pots..So i think a bet will get some players to fold..

I think leading is best here so we can isolate player E (Middle position player). If we do isolate him, we have position on everyone else in the pot. From there we will have a much better read on our opponents.

Yeah, we’re vulnerable to a check raise, especially from UTG, since he could be repping AK, KQ, KJ, but we can get smaller pocket pairs such as QQ, JJ, 10-10 to fold on this board given that it’s a multi way pot. Someone could have deuces, but we’ll find out. Leading here is a good semi-bluff and we will most likely take down the pot.
