Hobbes614: <- Now what?

I've got 40% of my stack in here (2.5:1 odds), when he jams the turn.
Check/Fold the turn?
See you in hell $2.20 and stack off?

    I guess call now? Don't lead the flop in the first place, just check/evaluate with that many people in the pot. Are you going to stack off if someone raises flop? Seems pretty spewy. Weird spot w/ how you played it but probably stacking now I guess considering the stakes.

    as long as you feel you can get somewhere around 13 to 1 implied odds i think that you can check fold any flop where you don't hit an eight. Losing chips trying to fight for pots when you have over cards takes away from the money you make when you hit a set. Check evaluate is good but only if your able to read your way through the whole hand....

    check fold and be happy about it i think....

    After looking back at it (not being results oriented), I lost sight of my plan. That was probably my main issue with this hand.

    Set or Forget.

    Being as these players just love to give you chips, I can find a much better spot.

    Before I read the other posts or suggestions, I'll offer mine. This early in a MTT, I definitely lead out of that flop but as soon as I get called on the flop I play for more pot control if I can. I would just checkl the turn and see what villain does.

    There were too many callers pre-flop to feel good about one pair on this board. A set or 2 pair show up here alot. I could see 6-6 making this play as they now have an OESD, maybe, but unlikely.

    As played, I fold and live to fight another day. You still have lots of chips and its early.
