    You are in early position with A226. Five people to the flop. Flop is Ks10s2h. the two blinds check and two to act behind. How would you play this? I was thinking about leading out to block any low runner runner draws. then hope to not see a spade or a face card, i really dont know???

    The best option is to fold; bottom set is rarely a winner. Otherwise, check call if you must. Hope no one shoves.

    bottom set in limit O8b is mostly a losing hand. If you play it, and there is a lot of action; you are better off folding.
    a. if the board pairs, you always have the under full because two higher pair will make a better full-house.
    b. If another connected card hits within a gap of one or 2 cards, you are probably facing a str8 or a flush if there is a 3-suit on board.

    Playing bottom set is a very expensive proposition & you will not get enough pay-off to cover all the chips you pay trying to make it work.

    you have a quads draw, jam the pot.

    check/fold is the answer.
