(in essence, also raising top2 from LP)general example.4 players to the flop.hero in EP holds A-J-x-x (no diamonds)flop A J 9 Hero.....??????is this a pottable?Hero does have top 2 but the texture of that flop is not favorable. discuss, top 2, texture, position.thanks guys

Two pair with no redraws is a pretty standard check-fold for me out of position in a multi-way pot. Especially on a board like the one you gave with so many draws. Maybe on a board of 1052 rainbow, I would lead with top two from the big blind, but even then, I think I'm probably going to wait for a better spot.If it's checked to me in late position, I'll usually bet and hope to take it down.Facing a bet from ep, it gets more tricky. . .

so a rainbow flop of: A-9-2 is easy pot right?

from the button after it's been checked around, probably. From the BB, probably not.

Need to consider the preflop actions, position, # of opponents, and the remaining stacks.

is this a pottable?Not out of position. Not much is out of position aside from stone bluffs or stone nuts with redraws or quads.good luck.

Yeah, check-fold this OOP. However, if it was A92 rainbow then I'm potting in any position before someone outdraws me to make a higher 2 pair.
