What do you think about preflop? I wanted to get some value from the large field, although I also considered betting the pot.

And how much do you bet on this flop?

In an online game where no 1 has any reads on me, I pot this flop every time. In a hand w. this texture your looking to fish the other 10 holder, get it HU's and stack them.

One could argue that a 1/2 pot bet would entice a call, I usually never 1/2 pot in EP, just b/c I want to put extra pressure when I pot the turn. Usually if there gonna call a 1/2 pot bet w. that flop texture, they will call a full pot as well.

Leading @ the pot provides more info. then checking, if u get repotted then u know villian has 55 or 105, now you can analyze your action based on stack sizes and villians style of play.
