Playing live 1/2 NL cash at Winstar. Nothing special about the table, pretty much exactly what you would expect from a 9-handed live 1/2 game in that most players have been loose-passive preflop and pretty weak on the flop. Everyone is actually pretty shallow, between $100-$150 behind for the three villains and I cover all 3 with about $175.
I raise on the button to $12 with Kd Qd after 3 or 4 people limp in early and middle position, both blinds fold and 3 of the limpers call. Four ways to the flop with $45 in the pot and the flop is Ad 8d 4s. They all check to me and I bet $26, but I wasn't all that comfortable doing it. I feel like checking behind with a draw to the nuts is wrong but betting a little over half pot as a c-bet isn't great either, because any ace will probably call and I'll only hit on the next card 16% of the time. I'm not sure what I would do if someone shoved over the top either. But checking gives up all the initiative and when a third diamond hits I can't raise the turn for value without giving up the strength of my hand. Any advice on what to do in this spot is appreciated. Thanks.
