I know this is basic. Just making sure I'm doing it right. I'm going to see the river with my flush draw and 2 overs, one of which might be good, so I raise the flop to get it cheaper. Standard, right?

This situation comes up a lot. I raise with AK, 2-4vplayers see the flop, and a Q flops and someone bets into me. I'm guessing they paired the middle card or queen with a weak kicker -- if they had TPgk they'd check-raise me. They also might have a straight or flush draw, but I don't know if they'd bet into the PFR in LP knowing he'd raise and drive out the other players. Should I automatically raise and bet the turn to test them or raise and fold to a 3 bet or a donk bet on the flop? Here I pick up a gutshot, so I probably should have raised to get the free card with my 4 nut outs and overcards .

1st hand looks good. It's unlikely you'll get reraised here unless someone holds queens, so good free card play.

2nd hand hand the board is pretty ragged so I might have bet it, and checked down the river if called.

3rd hand definitely bet the flop.

4th hand I'd raise for the free card. The fold is probably fine as long as your opponent is passive, which he appears to be -- the pot is fairly small.

I think you gotta bet the turn in hand 1. You've made the pot VERY big by 3 betting, and showed a tremendous amount of strength.
