This hand plays itself, and you played it fine.

Default Re: I know a check-raise indicates strength, but...

Is there a problem with the hand convertor since it seems to have omitted BB and UTG's original checks on the flop? I ask because the same thing happened to me when I posted a hand a couple of days ago- the first couple of flop bets did not appear.
As for the original question, a lot of players play any pair aggressively against a pre-flop raise when the board is like this. They figure you have missed the flop. Unless you know that your opponent is a super rock who would never check raise with less than two pair, you have to re-raise here. I might slow down if the betting is capped though. No way is this hand not going to showdown.

It just looks like he didnt switch it to 2+2 forum style, I did the same thing earlier tonight and got the same results, but I could be wrong.

You would only go 5 or 6 bets on the turn with the nuts?

What range do you put your opponent on when he five-bets?

This ahnd plays itself. You played it fine. A call anywhere is gay unless your trapping.
