JJ OOP multi-way, ugly flop

[zook]

Don't know too much about the other players, the ones left to act are a little looser than your average 400NL FR regular (BB is 20/10/3 over 350, MP3 is 33/10/2 over 100, Button is 28/12/4 over 150).

Is this a c/f spot? If you c-bet, how do you respond to a raise, or a call followed by a blank turn?

i wouldnt c-bet but looking at their stats we have to assume someone flopped something better than jacks.

My first thought is c/r but we could just end up spewing into a flopped flush with no outs.

I dont see c/c donk blank turn being tooo bad but same applies that a flopped flush would just slow it down a bit

I can't bet into this flop without a heart, I don't think....

I think this hand is interesting. Almost identical to QQ no heart, very similar to KK, and close enough to AA...

I d/c my computer when i get into situations like this ... j/k

I like c/f best, even though i am usually quite aggro. If it wasn't multiway and you weren't OOP to almost everyone, i would probably bet the flop.

[cardsman1992]

I agree, in position a bet would work better. I don't think you have enough equity in the pot with any overpair lacking a heart to bloat the pot OOP.....

[zook]

I agree that c/f is best with this hand. How about with AA?

[cardsman1992]

I think check call might be in order there with AA no heart.

Calls behind you, unless you have passive reads, are not usually pairs that beat you. I think check call, while being a passive line, lets us reevaluate turn and show down cheaper......

Same board, opps, and position, but with A-A...

I think i c/r min raise and a shove on a non heart turn would be a good line. You get Button's Ah-x/Kh-x to call the flop raise and force him out on the turn with a big bet. If Button has a set or flush he will probably push you out on the flop. You don't even pay a ton to find out if your A-A is behind by using the c/r min raise, relative to the stakes.

MP isn't really going to give you problems on the flop, if his hand is a draw. Just 2/3-3/4PSB turn to get him out if the flop gets checked around. If he bets the flop, then i would call and lead the turn 2/3-3/4PSB. If he calls/raises then i would shut down.

If both players are in the pot on the turn, it gets a little more complicated. If MP lead the flop, i would probably want to c/f in this spot. If Button lead the flop then it is more likely that both of your opponents are holding drawing hands. Then i would probably shove the turn.

i abhore c/f'ing this flop. But i think all other lines have merits. We need a feel for what you opponents are going to do to know whether we bet flop or c/r

monotone flop, OOP, multiple villains, and overpair with possibly no outs...that is a hand I don't bet. I check/fold this one to any aggression. Even if I had position and it checked to me, I would still check it to see what they do on the turn. There are too many in the hand for this to not have hit somebody.
