Re: Awkward hand means awkward river
I would check.
If you donk-bet here you run the risk that the only caller you`ll get will be a (higher) flush. Some pairs or two pairs KT or T9 might call you. But you give them the extra chance to fold the made hand. By checking you give them a chance to bet a hand despite the flush-danger on board. My experience is that in micro-limits players are tempting to bet this hands here especially in LP but they rather fold if you bet first. So if someone has a hand you have a good chance to check-raise, which i wouldn`t recomend here especially if the bet doesnīt come from the CO (or CO-1). With 4 other players you might run into a higher flush.
If no one has a hand you lose nothing by checking. So my estimation is you make more profit here by checking the flush.
