Should i put a bet out here?

[ACE2M]

yes.

nice little tempter to pull in the flushes and maybe the straights. Clearly no one flopped big unless they flopped the pure nuts so i'd bet there.

[Royal Flush]

Yeah i think the optimum here would be to bet 50-60 and pass to any raise.

[totalise]

I probably wouldn't bet this one, theres 5 in the pot and your hand is a pretty good bluff catcher, I'd rather check and call a bet from behind then bet and fold to a raise, because I think people aren't calling in spots like here often when you have the best hand, but they are prone to take a stab at stealing a pot, given the lack of action and the size of the pot.

Never can be too careful mate

[SuuPRlim]

yh we don;t block  or  i think J9 is a bit part of his chk flop/chk turn range, even moreso in 2006.

WP imo, careful Carols pay dem billz.

Fold preflop!

I probably wouldn't bet this one, theres 5 in the pot and your hand is a pretty good bluff catcher, I'd rather check and call a bet from behind then bet and fold to a raise, because I think people aren't calling in spots like here often when you have the best hand, but they are prone to take a stab at stealing a pot, given the lack of action and the size of the pot.

Doubt anyone is bluffing 5-ways on this board, and doubt people slowplay two streets with a better hand that often, but they could call with worse, and they're very unlikely to raise with worse so you have an easy decision. I'd make it small enough that flushes look you up, like $40 or something, could go even smaller and encourage multiple callers. Obv an exploitable strat as we don't make many bluffs that sizing but we've got no reason to believe villains know that.
