    Default Whats the right way to play this?

    I didn't want to cbet the flop because of the two small stacks and just being in that large of a pot.

    I thought about betting the river pretty big and going for the pot but CO is solid and I wouldn't be suprised if he called me down with small pair.



    Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (9 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    SB ($19.55)
    BB ($4.25)
    UTG ($19.95)
    UTG+1 ($19.45)
    Hero (MP1) ($22.10)
    MP2 ($19.85)
    MP3 ($6.25)
    CO ($10.80)
    Button ($12)

    Preflop: Hero is MP1 with K, A
    2 folds, Hero raises to $0.45, 1 fold, MP3 calls $0.45, CO calls $0.45, 2 folds, BB calls $0.35

    Flop: ($1.85) 9, 10, 2 (4 players)
    BB checks, Hero checks, MP3 checks, CO checks

    Turn: ($1.85) 2 (4 players)
    BB bets $0.50, Hero calls $0.50, MP3 calls $0.50, CO calls $0.50

    River: ($3.85) 6 (4 players)
    BB checks, Hero checks, MP3 checks, CO checks

    betting the flop is ok, giving up without betting the flop is also ok.

    Turn bet doesn't accomplish much, think about what hands you would possibly play like this - once you checked the flop you basically said "i'm scared", and betting <1/2 pot on turn is just repeating yourself...

    overall played ok.

    Bluff calling the turn confuses me if your not gonna take it on the river with so many busted draws and in a 4way pot your hand has very little showdown value. I tend to act up when the board pairs a small card like this and pop that shit up hoping to fold out better hands and bring QJ and low flush draws along. But whatever, if someone paired up you definately lost the minimum.

    He didn't bet the turn, he bluff called.

    It's fine. I don't think the turn fold vs call matters much.

    oops. Bluff-calling here is meh, ok enough I guess - so long as you don't put money in on the river unimproved.

    Fine, bar the turn call, though thats a small mistake. Like you id also not c bet on this board multi way.
    "This sure beats Super Mario Bros.!" is my ejaculation catch phrase.
