Is calling fine here pre-flop, or is this a raise? Should I be betting the flop or graciously accepting a free card in this 6-way pot? Turn bet fine? If I am raised on the turn, is it a fold? I assume the river bet is acceptable.

As I understand it, this is usually a limp or raise pre-flop.

Check->Bet->Bet looks like a fine line.

Bet the flop, it's way too good for your hand.

With 5 players in there with us, most of the time one of them is going to have paired the overcard. We really don't have equity here. If we get calls or raises, we're not going to know if they have a 9 or the flush draw. Basically, I don't think the reverse implied odds are helping.

Throwing this into Poker Stove against 5 random hands...we're actually less favored on this flop than the other hands (~16% vs. ~17%). Once we reach the turn, we've picked up a lot of equity...we're up to 28%. By the river against one random opponent, we're 92%.

raise PF, bet the flop

Preflop call is ok... raise is ok too.

But bet that flop.

If we raised pre-flop, it's any easy bet on the flop. If there weren't three left to act behind us, it's an easy bet on the flop. In this case, I'm not so sure. I really don't mind the way this was played.

Gives overs a free card

Duly noted. Again though...I think we're playing 77 for set value mostly. In a multi-way pot, we're not going to win very often unimproved. I don't like getting aggressive with low pairs until I've got a better idea of where I'm at.

IF you raise pre-flop, raise this flop.

If you limp this pre-flop, I think its a check/call. 8)
