To lead out or not to lead out, that is the question?
LongshanksED:
Live tourney. 5k starting stack and I"m up to 7k in level 2. 50/100 blinds.
On button with 58s (hearts). 4 limpers (8handed) and I call. Sb completes and BB checks. Pot is 700.
246 flop with 2 and 6 hearts. I"ve got a double gutter for straight and flush draw. Checked to me and I bet 400. (?)
BB thinks and with 2k in his stack he flats. Pot is 1500
Turn is Q hearts. BB checks and I bet 900 into 1500 pot. BB has approx 1.6k left and shoves. I call with my flush and he has 2pair. Fours and queens with no hearts. River is 7 (wouldve gave a straight too) and the player berated me for leading into the flop. Asking me how could I bet into 5 others with only draws!
I didn"t answer him but thought my play was right and I thought me bet sizing was "fairly standard" and had he shoved on the flop I was happy to call with my 15 outs
Right or wrong way to play?

I like the "ssshhhh I"m counting your chips" response.
AMRN:
absolutely spot on lead out, and at a value that is really inviting for someone to raise. You wanna be getting your stack all in on this flop - lead out and hope for a raise.
