I have been at the table for three hands, no reads. Should you bet out on the flop here? or just check? I am new to tournaments and am having trouble when I have mediocre hands in mulitway pots, should I just be done with the hand?

Your hole cards could help.

It might help if you tell us what YOU have, and NOT what your opponents had.

you have to raise that flop for information.

if anyone looks suspiciously at you, push the turn.

you really butchered this one.

i will assume you had the k3. In a multiway pot like this it really does depend on my reads of players and amount of action. Overall i would check just slightly more than i would bet (the 100 bet was the perfect amount to bet a hand like that online by the way). More of an action table the more i check. If it is weaker i bet more often. Call most feeble bets if you check and typically call the more obvious late position pot stealers.

Actually, he couldn't have had the K3:
Soysan1 checks, No_Neck0 checks, PiXeL8 bets $150, Soysan1 calls $150, No_Neck0 folds.

Unless, of course, someone else had his name :-P
