QT on T87 flop 5-way
1/2 NL effective stacks 200-400: I cover. Two limps to me in hijack with QsTs. I raise to 12, BTN and BB cold call and limpers call. Could have raised larger, limped, or folded. Flop is Td8c7h. Checked to me. Should I cbet?

Don't fold or limp. Now probably check and hope for blank turn

I cbet 20, BTN and BB called, preflop limpers folded. Turn was Td8c7h7d and was checked through. River was Td8c7h7d9s. BB led for 20. I couldn't figure out what he was leading 1/6 pot with, but folded. BTN called and BB bettor showed 88 for boat. I guess he was going for x/r on turn wanted to get called on river, but seemed terribly played by him.
Right so I'd have checked flop then bet this turn if checked to, would have come to same thing

Whether you bet or not here gets heavily moved by what the read on BB and BTN are. Because if the entire table is the player type that is just only going to raise you on the flop with better and call with worse then betting even up to half pot here is basically a freeroll. A small step up from that is if theyÂ’re players who will raise with better and call with a mix of better and worse as a deliberate trap and in that case itÂ’s still a cbet. If either player in BTN or BB is the type to go you know what this hand is 5 handed, this is a mid connected board, this board texture hits the field that called you more than it does your iso-raise range and raise as a bluff just check this hand.
I would check back this flop as well. This pot is basically already big enough for the strength of your hand. QT is not particularly strong five ways on this board, and there are going to be a lot of bad runouts. I'm comfortable with one more street of betting, but it doesn't need to be on the flop. You can also learn a lot about the strength of your opponents hands by what they do on the turn.
