looks standard against an unknown

I guess...I need a read before worrying about a HU free card though.

Re: AK on monotone board
 

Have people started taking free cards again in limit these days? I recall that I had reached the point where I just stopped worrying about it (especially HU).

A turn check is super unlikely to cost you the pot, and bet-folding seems risky against an unknown (especially if the retarded aggression I've encountered at recent micro limit tables when taking a break from NL has drifted up to the 5/10 at all). So the question is really whether bet-calling the turn gets more value than check-calling.

Meanwhile, I suppose a checkraise is also an option, although I would hate getting 3-bet enough that it really makes me hesitate.

Re: AK on monotone board
 

is it bad that I take free cards then? Typically in multiway pots on the turn, of course. If it's heads up I'll rarely take one.

c/r was what i was thinking. c/c is weak sauce.

NL has probably messed with my limit instincts.

Why'd you bet out the turn? Thought he was trying to buy a card by raising the flop?
