check, he jams, we call
maybe pretty standard, but two questions
does anyone prefer flatting the flop here to let worse draws tag along?
Regarding the flop with four players left to act and a coordinated medium high card connected board with a two flush why not flat letting others in? This also has the potential to get a raise from one of these players behind allowing for a reraise by you (being a good idea depending on who and where the raise came from). If there was a raise and reraise behind you could flat knowing that there is a made straight perhaps with a weaker flush draw and/or a set which would make the turn and river easy to play.
Keep in mind I play games with $5 blinds and! (usually) a $10 straddle about $2000 deep but the multi-way pot made me more comfortable replying since my game looks like this scaled down.
