If I check flop, I usually check turn behind too int his very spot is that bad?

depends on how it fits into your overall game plan. but in a vacuum i don't think it's that bad. Because it's hard to get 2 more streets of value from a weaker hand which should be your main question.

aginst a bad player, fold
against a good player call [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

ur check on the flop makes this a 100% call against a 'thinking' player. i like to bet the flop though so u dont have to be put to this decision. had this been on the flop, it would be tough.

i call.

edit: actually, i dont mind the flop check

I hate the flop check.

it invites this sort of play from him on the turn if he's a good thinking player because your hand looks like 1010-KK now.

As played i would fold.

This is really counterintuitive. We have a hand better than the range he perceives us having, why would we fold?

I realised it looked like i was contradicting myself when i posted that.

The reason i fold is because i can't give him credit for being good enough to make a play like with nothing to back it up. It's more likely he's playing AK or a set in this way but after the flop check it makes you feel he could be exploiting you because of the way you played the flop.

I think the flop check just makes the hand a lot more difficult to play.

Yeah i do this a lot too because I want to avoid situations like this where you have to make a big call or fold with a mediocre hand.

if you are gonna fold here, why exactly are you betting the turn? are you trying to get 2 streets of value here from AT?
