<font color="blue"> Normally, I muck this here. However, I've been running hot at the table, and average PFR for the table is about 4, so I decide to make a light call and hope for an A</font> /images/graemlins/heart.gif. <font color="blue">You'd agree this is a light call, right?</font>

pf is fine, why do you think you are not ahead on the flop?

5 players in and a weak kicker... Maybe I'm overestimating the talent at the table - it wouldn't typically hold up in my normal home games.

I raise this preflop if the table has been that tight. The flop is a bet, you will probably pick it up right here. On the river I check behind.

[Unknown Soldier]

but they all checked it to you, if you were 1st to act then yeah check this every time

[tree_stump]

Cool. Thanks, fellas. I thought I had played this wicked weak, but I wanted confirmation. Appreciate it.

I agree w/ this after the flop, I would even fire the turn here. Def. check behind on river.
