I'am still not sure how to play the following example hand :
9 handed
Preflop: Hero is BB with A
5 ![]()
4 Player call, Hero calls
Flop: (6.00 SB) J
4
9
(5 players)
SB checks, Hero ???
As far as I know it is recommended to bet out on the flop here
because :
-it is for value
-buying outs
-win the pot outright
BUT:
Against 4 or more players it is unlikly to win the pot outright
AND
I 'don't want to get isolated against the best hand (e.g. if UTG+2 raises and everyone folds)
what do you think?
