    I'd bet flop bigger - 220ish

    Turn I'd snap fold after that action and be happy about it.

    I wouldnt lead flop 5way

    As played fold, not shocked if you had best hand though

    am I eck folding !

    urgh! Alot of low hearts out already, looks like you could be in trouble but i would hate myself even more if i folded the best hand. Would tilt me for days.

    Dont like it but i call it off and open another tourney.

    easy check on flop
    as played i always get it in here, although that is debatable considerign you've only invested so little and both opponents are showing so much strength .. but then again, they'd probz go broke with lower flushes

    Could you explain why it's an easy check please?
    For the record I TOTALLY agree with getting it in here!
    If i'd played this hand I'd prob have bet 2/300 on flop to try and get rid of 2/3. Why would this have been a bad idea?

    you don't really want to play a draw aggressively in a 5 way pot, you're only inflating the pot when there's no need, hero hasn't invested anything into the pot (obv apart from blinds) .. you want to see a turn card as cheap as possible and you don't really want to bet big because you're pointlessly turning your hand into a bluff, also you probz want to keep as many opponents in as possible! i'd just c/c most bets on the flop

    Ta Percival, got all that. When you say c/c MOST bets on flop. What bet would you FOLD to?

    i dont mind leading flop, but would lead bigger - 175-225 - often in multiway, the opening bet takes the pot and you have plenty of outs though its a very draw heavy board with a straight already out there

    if its low stakes i prob call, high stakes i fold - reason being i expect generally weaker players who will shove much wider at lower stakes
