The flop reveals

Q♠5♠4♣

You’re first to speak.

Well, I would check.

Unless I have some info about coward limper, it means he has some hand with good potential or hidden monster, I would be very unprobable to fold such hand by simple bet on flop. Maybe bet/raise would have fold equity, but that is too much for such hand and wet board. 

So check/call is a way to go. Mostly to keep the pot in reasonable size.

#MaltaHand1 #RoadtoMaltaHand I'm playing an invitational televised tournament. The blinds are 5,000/10,000. I'm in the Big Blind with 900,000 chips. Everyone folds until a player in middle position, with 1,000,000 chips, who limps in. The rest of the table folds. You check. The flop reveals Q♠5♠4♣ i check this flop i like to see what my opponent chooses to do now , whether he will try raise now an steal it or if he will check back an also to see how he reacts an also best to keep it low ball style here against such a big stack an try avoid building a big pot until we have improved to trips or two pair at least we have some showdown value so best trying to get another free card by checking an hoping our opponent does the same . the board is also so wet that so many draw hands will continue an call an in my expierence it takes more than one c-bet on a flop to chase away a limper , an we defo dont want into a leveling war with a guy with a mill ball stack .

Nothing fancy here. Villain has shown weakness by limping pre flop, I would have likied to reraise here and cbet most flops as I will take the pot down a large majority of the time. However, as played I prefer to fire out this flop, while we do only have bottom pair we have many outs that will improve our holding such as a 5 and a 4, we also have the back door flush draw although while the weaker end of draws could still help us make the best hand. a 6 also wouldn't be a bad card improving our equity and giving us more reeason to barrel with improved equity if we think villain will fold. If he calls, we have plenty of bail out cards.

 #RoadtoMaltaHand and #MaltaHand1.

AHHH THESE DAMN LIMPERS.

Should have jammed over his weak limping butt before we got the flop. Yeah jamming EIGHT FOUR off like a baller.

So anyway back to reality.

What do i do? I check ... why would I do anything else!!!!!

We have bottom pair and just about zero (well maybe a bit more with the back door straight draws), chance of improving here. Barring some crazy two pair, even if we do hit a 2pair type hand, we will have a WEAK two pair type hand.

Our villian who limped, might be limping a monster, or he may be completing with overcards to our hand (because let's face it there are not a great deal of undercards), finally he could be limping a pocket pair he wants to see a cheap flop with - over cards that may have hit the flop, or desire to stick around for a turn, a pair may not give up to a stab here.

If we bet we are oop in the hand, and won't have a clue where we are past the flop! Plus just about every turn card makes our hand worse.

So I check. Fold to a raise and try to get to a cheap showdown unimproved.

If this guy limps my blind again I might just explode though AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Just like this crazy russian!!

AHHHHHHHHHHH
