but yeah i agree, i hate hate checking this flop with such a disguised draw that also happens to be 5 high and hence needs fold equity and it's a K high board so great for barreling, etc.

can you explain this? if he calls me with a K then he's not going anywhere. i guess you're saying because he can call with a lot of misc. pp's on the flop and then fold to a second barrel? i'm not even sure if i agree with you in general and this guy is more likely than most to call two bets with 88.

one reason that checking the flop was appealing to me was that if he has an A and one comes off then i'm going to win a very big pot. i'm pretty confident that he bets turn, calls a raise, and calls a river bet at least.

I think he's saying you have a well hidden draw so if he does tag along with a king and you hit you want to bloat the pot to extract value on as many streets as possible
