And here's an excerpt from the book:

.................................Missing the Flop


When you miss the flop, and you are first to act, usually check and fold. If you are last, usually fold if bet into, or check behind if not bet into. This is true both heads-up and multiway. There are exceptions to these rules, and we will talk about them later. But you should keep in mind that they are exceptions. Most of the time, you will go quietly when your hand has no value.

Here’s an example.

Suppose you are in the big blind with the A♥8♠7♥6♦. The cutoff raises. The button calls and the small blind folds. You call. The flop is the Q♣J♥4♣. There is no reason to get fancy. You do have backdoor straight and flush draws, but it is likely that one or both of your opponents have much more. So, check. If there is a bet, throw your hand away.

By the way, this situation will occur fairly often in pot-limit Omaha. So be prepared to check and fold or just fold if someone bets into you. There will be plenty of opportunities to get your money in.

.......................Play on the Flop When Someone Has Marked Aces


When someone has marked themselves with aces, play on the flop is very simple. Usually, everyone checks to the person with aces, and he moves all-in. Then everyone else decides whether to play or fold. If there are 3 or more players, there is a small advantage to acting last, that is, being seated immediately before the person with aces.

For example, suppose you have the 9♦8♦7♠6♠ in a three-way pot with (marked) aces and an unknown hand, and when the preflop action is complete, the size of your stack is 60 percent of the pot. The flop is the K♣Q♣8♥. Heads up against the aces, you will win approximately 30 percent of the time — usually by making two small pair, which is enough to make it correct to play. However, if the third player is willing to come along, it’s best to fold since two small pair will rarely win a three-way pot. This is especially true since the third player would frequently fold if the flop was not to his liking.

So, this fact should influence your preflop decision to play or fold against marked aces. In the frequent cases where it’s close, be more inclined to play if you will be acting last on the flop.
