It's easier when you just bet the flop.

just bet $5-$7 on the flop and be done with it

lahooozaher,

Please bet this flop even when its 3-way, and then go into c/f mode unless you hit on later streets. As played I think a c/r here is fine, you'll obviously get a fold here often and if you are called you just might have 6 clean outs.

Betting is so much better than check-raising.

lahozaher, being more 'lag' doesn't mean you have to spew postflop

I'm not trying to be lag here, he only had $6 left behind and I thought there was a decent chance I was ahead. I do understand that this is a good board to bet though and I'm not sure why I didn't since even 3 ways I bet low paired boards more often than not.

that wasn't a comment specific to this hand, but to all the threads you've made lately about 'overcoming your nittiness'
