I'd probably lead the flop and hope MP1 raises to protect my hand for me.

Lead the flop. I'm sure the check-raise sounds very tempting, but there's draws out there. Last thing you need is some nut hitting their J-9 of hearts
Last night I stayed up late playing poker with Tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died.

I like check/raising this flop if the pfr will bet most flops after raising.Betting out doesn't protect our hand much.

I agree with the "Bet the flop" line.How's 2/4 working out for you so far?

The preflop raiser is almost on your immediate left. Check-raising doesn't protect your hand.Lead the flop.

A little swingier than i'd like, but still up a good amount since I hopped up. The bad beat tables are crazy loose... its a good time, but the looseness seems to add more swings.I'm not completely bankrolled for it yet... If it starts to go bad, i'll move back down, i've been playing mornings lately and cant ever seem to find more than one decent 1/2 table, i'll spend my whole day datamining.

So the 2/4 jackpots are still super loose in the mornings? That's good to know.I've just about given up on 1/2 in the mornings. 20% VP$IP is a loose table then.

here's also a question, what do you do if you get raised on the turn knowing that we are drawing to four outs

on the flop..... if we check and the PF raiser bets and is called by both the MP2 and the SB i think we are best to be calling here and waiting to CR on the turn.what does everyone else think?CR will mean that even if UTG folds there will be 9.5 BB in the pot on the turn.CC will mean that if everyone calls this flop bet there will only be 8 BB in the pot on the turn. lead out on the turn (or better yet raise if the SB leads) if its a non-heart and i think you will force out some lesser flush draws or top pair hands.
