    Default $16 - TT on KKK board

    Is my flop raise bad?
    I figured I likely had the best hand, but a A/Q/J could change that, so I bet to charge those hand.
    How to proceed on the turn?

    I am just another learning player, so read my comments (very) open minded.

    I would lead again for 300 or so. I don't see any reason why our hand isn't still best here.

    BTW I would raise a bit more on the flop, I'd make it 200 to go.

    I would not bet this flop in a 5 way pot

    If someone has a K then he will flat call you and you will be in a tough spot, if someone calls and bets are you going to fold it?

    BTW your bet was way too weak here, you may get a call from a lower PP but you may also get a call from hands like AJ/QJ/AT etc.. chasing a better FH.

    This is the 3rd hand that I see in this forum this week when mid-high PP (JJ and 99 last two times) limp preflop and then trying to play their hand for high pair value, raising preflop will make your post flop decisions much easier

    I read a post in the SH-cash forum yesterday with the gem of advice "Just assume quads never happen", the chances someone has a K is soooo remote here.
    Just dipping my toes back in.

    {I split the posts on limping 99-JJ into a separate topic, please let's discuss this hand here and limping 99-JJ in the other topic}
