I don't bet that flop, with 3 callers odds are at least one of them has an Ace and they won't fold it.

As played that's an easy (but annoying) fold.

This is a mild example of what poker players refer to as entitlement tilt. You feel entitled to the pot because you started with such a damn good hand that you can't stop yourself from wasting chips postflop in -EV spots. Betting the flop is clearly -EV here. You will only get called by better hands and anything worse will fold.

Yup thanks Darth. I agree, only good thing for me is that I at least see evolution in my game as I know months back it would have been more than mild tilt :-). So absolutely check right call here then... I knew I would fold to a re-raise but as you say '...will only get called by better hands and anything worse will fold'

Tough spot. check on river for sure. Be quick to move on.

Also, in MP3 behind 2 limpers, I'd make the preflop raise bigger. 4 hands behind yet to act, and if anyone comes along all the EP limpers do, too.
