Heres one I screwed up earlier.

    Default Heres one I screwed up earlier.

    MP1 seems LAG but only been at the table for 10 hands
    BB seems even more loose and just as aggressive (89% VPIP but only 7 hands)

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (9 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

    SB ($35.30)
    BB ($20.45)
    UTG ($9.90)
    UTG+1 ($30.45)
    MP1 ($40.75)
    Hero ($24.75)
    MP3 ($9.65)
    CO ($24.40)
    Button ($27.45)

    Preflop: Hero is MP2 with J, J.
    2 folds, MP1 calls $0.25, Hero raises to $1, 1 fold, CO calls $1, 1 fold, SB calls $0.90, BB calls $0.75, MP1 calls $0.75.

    Flop: ($5) Q, 9, 8 (5 players)
    SB checks, BB checks, MP1 checks, Hero checks, CO checks.

    Turn: ($5) 6 (5 players)
    SB checks, BB bets $0.75, MP1 calls $0.75, Hero raises to $4.50, CO folds, SB folds, BB calls $3.75, MP1 calls $3.75.

    River: ($18.50) K (3 players)
    BB checks, MP1 bets $12, Hero folds, BB folds.

    Final Pot: $30.50

    I thought BBs weak bet looked like a flush draw and I felt like finding out. That river bet looks like a value bet from...?

    What are you representing when you check this super draw-heavy flop in a 4-way pot, then come out firing on the turn? An aware player would know that you are FOS here. If I check this flop, I am essentially giving up on the pot. On the turn, either make a weak call or a weak fold, and fold to any substantial river bet, unless you hit a J or a T.

    I was expecting the river to be headsup against the guy with the draw. Im very sure BB was on either a straight or flush draw. I see that bet all the time and usually its a draw that either folds, or calls and misses...but usually its not 4 way. I felt I was in position to check behind the river and they seemed weak. I think it was poor judgment doing it against so many players.

    Would you have bet the flop or just given up?

    Reraising you from the button
    As the preflop raiser with decent position and a draw I probably lead for $3.5 on the flop, just to get information on what I'm up against. I play this one carefully though, since the pot is already pretty big and you only have 3 clean outs for a better hand. A check/fold is perfectly acceptable too, I think. No real reason to get involved in a big pot with such a marginal hand on a draw heavy board, unless you spike a non-spaded T.
