NL10 TPTK oop vs. crowd, line check

[ElectricWaffles]

Personally I come right out and bet the flop for $1. It's a pretty dry flop and the only two hands you realistically have to worry about are KJ and 66.

I'm not betting more than $1 because we've got no fold equity against hands we beat (KJ or 66 arn't folding), also we want a call from hands we do beat like KQ or KT. I guess going for a check/raise is fine too, though as you said you are getting committed versus the shortstacks if they bet.

I'm not concerned about MP2 assuming I'm Cbetting having missed and therefore calling, because he'd be making the mistake. If he *has* got you beat you'll proabably know before the river because he'll be playing for stacks and you can react accordingly.
