I don't 3bet from sb, but some may recommend it. I would usually be looking to check/raise the flop though. Otherwise not much else you can do - have to call the river even though you probably got backdoored.

What bdc said, except I like the flop lead, even though you ended up with 3 callers. I'm finding it takes a monster to raise (especially 3-bet) from the small-blind. Unfortunately, I always seem to get my best hands in the SB lately. OOP Sucks Ass! (I think I'm going to add that to make that my sig.)

With the flop lead you might as well flip your hand face-up. I'd rather check and hope to snag in someone with a 6T combo or a set or something. If it was heads up with the raiser I don't mind the lead, but 4-way, I check here.

The flop check-raise is an interesting suggestion, but I worry that with 4 players on the flop that makes it less likely that someone is going to lead out with a hand on a scary board. I'd actually be more inclined to c-r HU against the PF raiser than here. This is micro limits, where players tend to check-call and trap (and overvalue hands) rather than lead out, so it wouldn't surprise me if someone checked it down with a set and 3 opponents here.I think you're right that leading out telegraphs my hand but I do have a bit of disguise factor with the higher straight redraw and backdoor club draw.

Que?

Que?

What I mean is that someone may put me on JT by leading the flop but...wait a minute, I misread my damn hand! I looked at it and thought I had a redraw if a Q fell but I would still have to use my JT. Crap, clearly I have to work on my hand reading skills.

Simo means you don't have the higher straight redraw.I think lead is fine.
