Bet this flop always, never, sometimes?

[JL]

I can't decide whether or not to bet this flop.
I can see good arguments for for both betting and checking.

Both villains are terrible...the SB being the worst at 77/0/.5

SB: calls any bet with any pair, A high, any draw (including runner runner types)
CO: 55/11 type, but does not stack off easily, and folds to my cbets way too often.

Stack sizes:
UTG: $111.50
CO: $206.65
Hero: $149.20
SB: $59.05
BB: $250.05

Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is Button with T K
UTG folds, CO calls, Hero raises to $5, SB calls, BB folds, CO calls.

Flop: 7 T 6 ($16, 3 players)
SB checks, CO checks, Hero???

Always

[mixchange]

Always bet. This is actually one of the best scenarios if you are going to play KTo, which I would not, but you are successful with wider hand ranges on the button.

Depending on how I'm playing I'd sometimes check always, sometimes bet always and sometimes bet abou 75% of the time

If you're always gonna apply 1 "Frequency" I'd bet this about 9/10 times

Whats the reason for not betting this?

Because you don't want the pot to get too bloated with such a vulnerable hand.

Because these guys are calling my flop bets with such a wide range, I do not want the pot to get too large when basically every card in the deck is a scare card (other than non-heart 2s, 3s, Ts, and Ks)

The more I think about it, the more I think always betting is best for these exact reasons, lol. If they are calling with ATC on the flop, then I should be betting everytime.

I just thought at the time I could make a good case for checking this flop...guess not.

preflp is VRY standard

I'm not sure if I like the pf raise. If the limper folds to c-bets 60 - 70% of the time and the blinds are tight and solid it's +EV in my book but if the blinds are that loose and they like to float with any kind of crap I muck this PF.

As played I always bet this flop.

muck KT in a 5 handed game on the button without a raise??? NOOOOO

[Renton]

check this flop some

[Fnord]

i typically fold this preflop.

I already bumped that thread once today...

[Genitruc]

checking the flop is part of a hyperlagg strategy I used to use.

If opponents are bad and passive then I'd be betting it regardless of which "gear" I was in

[griffey24]

I agree with the posts so far for sure. Bet this flop, hope to take it down or only get one caller, and then check it through the turn if I'm that worried about creating a bloated plot.

who said to fold it?? in a FR game id raise too in LP

[Pelion]

LOL @ anyone saying to fold KT on the button in a limped pot. I cant understand why we wouldnt bet a good but vulnerable flop either. If they are floating "most flops" then let them float while we are almost always ahead. If they are hardly ever floating flops then let them fold the hands that have outs against us.

[bbqsquirrel]

Bet flop hard (e.g. $12), bet another 3/4 pot on a non scary turn hard, and hope to check behind on river. It makes no sense to play pot control against donks who will call large bets/go broke with TJ/A7 or trailing pair+gutshot hands -- you need to value bet your lesser hands harder.

Just my 2 cents.

[zenbitz]

I bet because lately ALL my flop bets get called with all sorts of nothing. I might check turn behind depending on who calls and turn card.

[Galapogos]

Why did you not want to bet this? SB was terrible and you know he was calling with anything? I'm honestly curious as to what you were afraid of?

[|~|ypermegachi]

are you guys saying we should raise KTo preflop almost all the time in a limped pot? or all the time against these types of villains?

On the button in a limped pot? KTo is gold compared to most of the shit I raise with from there.

QFT...I've seen u raise 87o twice from there....

...strange how u somehow get to showdown with that hand.

edit: you were BB in this hand Galap., so I knew at leasat one guy would fold. :P

Whoops, hopefully it was because I was ahead

Yeah I recognized the table, that's why I was so shocked you weren't sure you should have been value betting top pair against SB, especially in position (well, obviously in position since he was the SB, but you know what I mean).

I bet about 2/3 pot. I would c-bet this normally, even more so given the draw heavy board.
