$50 on Stars. Field seems quite solid and normally raised pots are contended with 2 people.

CR, call or bet, at least betting in ring is way more profitable, how do you feel about sngs?

With two left to act after you i'd say bet the pot and take it down right there. Giving a cheap(or free) card in a 4 way pot with top two pair is asking for trouble. The pot is 12BB and you are already the chip leader, i'd say taking it down here to gather ammunition for the next round of blinds is a safe bet.

[dalecooper]

You can't count on a bet since you were the pre-flop raiser, and there's a possible flush draw out there. Checking would be a horrible mistake. I like betting about 2/3 of the pot here, and if no diamond comes along, push the turn.

[Staresy]

I would bet for about 400 and see where you stand.

Weakish lead for like 175. Betting represents a lot weaker than checking here, imo.

Yep I like the weak bet, checking is too dangerous and an aggresive player will take the bait.

bet 400-500. dont represent weakness with two pair, just take the pot down.

[a500lbgorilla]

I guess with 2 diamonds out there, it's the smartest move.

As my teacher, I agree with him.

Oh Vincent. There's nothing you haven't already learned.

Oh, flush draw. Yeah big flop bet then. I'm too used to big faced cards and 4 colored decks to notice this stuff.

[Pingviini]

With 2 face cards and a flush draw on bord I decided to bet 400 on the flop and took the pot down. I figured that if someone had a strong ace, which I really thought considering the amount of players seeing a raised pot, they might re-raise in which case pingviini would have ????

Rilla you are so wise, gabe you are even wiser, VQ..err... you have a wise teacher
