Should I have checked flop instead of c betting 4 way??

donkeyplop

After 3 beting pre are you all c betting this flop Or would you check with 3 to act behind?

Did I lose value? or was I just unlucky they all folded??

3bet bigger pre, make it about £2

Flop bet is fine, I see very little reason to check, I prob make it a little bigger

Im bettin this flop every time xx

you have to bet flop as flush draw out there i would bet more pre and more on flop

£1.80 pre, as played 2/3rd - 3/4 pot c bet, although its a dry flop if anyone has 2 hearts they will call also maybe other pp. hard to get value really from the flop

Table dependant but, if I can be resonably sure at least 1 of them is gonna fire a bet then I can easily check here and if all 3 check behind so be it.
There is a risk reward factor involved it depends if you feel your good enough to lay down trip kings if the flush comes and you meet stiff resistance.

Generally Ak will make you the most money pre-flop once you get a good flop it normally kills the action esp when  a  dry ace pops on the flop. so in hidsight you should raise bigger pre!!  there id bet aroud 2.20 quid since ur out of position, on the button 1.80 would work.

Why bet flop smaller than 1/2 pot?

LOL_RAISE

pretty dry board, 3b pot  with v low SPR i prefer to just bet v small with entire range

plus betting 4way is always going to look quite strong

Checking is asking for trouble cos you are giving a free card to a flushing board and you could potentially be filling someone up if they playing a small or medium pair. I know you are hoping to get a bet from someone and then continue the hand after that... But All hands that would bet if you checked would of called or raised you anyway.... You're unlucky no one had a hand or anyone who was prepared to make a move on you.

But still.... You managed to get 3 people to call your pre flop raise and won the pot without even showing down... 

That's great poker in my opinion!

Congrats on the hand
