From Pasterbator's point of view, I don't like checking and folding at all. I don't see where you can really argue for a fold, unless you are a true nit like Woolygimp.

I'll explain upon request, but his decisions in this hand are very bad, and all roads lead to plays that he can't feel comfortable with.

The reason the preflop raise is fine is that it is standard. If he started reraising to 24 with mediocre hands, and reraising to 50 with strong hands, it would be a blatant leak. He wants his hand to be deceptive as possible, and he knows that because of the frequency he has been 3-betting me I can put him on a large range of hands than AK and TT+. Also, it allows me to play closer to correctly if I have kings or aces.

I am by no means a nit, and I feel that my post above should more than addequately explain why I like a check fold on the river (and for what it's worth, I was right [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] ) Also, as per the preflop reraise, if he can't get away from a set when you turn a flush, then he needs to play in a manner that makes his decisions on later streets easier. Reraising bigger is one of those. Raising bigger preflop (which is my standard regardless of what I repop when stacks are deep) if a leak at all is a small leak. Stacking off 2 buyins with a set against a flush is a significant leak. Now, out of curiousity, how would you play this one from pasterbator's point of view?
