How do you get maximum value out of a flop like this in early position? Yea, I'm one of those micro stakes donkeys Embarassed

At what point would you lead out?

With 5 players in the hand, bet out right on the flop... somebody's got a draw, somebody will chase something, or somebody will bluff. If the CO had a draw, you let him see the river for free. Big mistake. He's not going to pay once he misses. But he will draw... Especially if he's only got a ~140 chips left... Are you trying to 'trick' him into putting the last of his chips in by checking the turn? He HAS to call with anything at that point. The great thing about micros is you don't have to be sneaky. Just bet your big hands, and you'll win. I wouldn't concern myself with pushing everybody out. This is a $1 sng, so you're not losing much if you don't get paid off. But the potential to bust somebody is only there if you're putting chips in the pot.
