I'm fine with checking behind here vs two. Flop isn't crazy wet, but people slip in with AJ, KJ, QJ, A9, 22-99 enough to make it a fine check. Add in that they're quite short-stacked and you've convinced me.

I bet. This is a pretty good flop to c-bet, and if we get called we have a decent amount of outs.

i think a check behind there is great... considering they shorties and all... who knows mebbe we take a free card and hit the gutty

'Pretty Good' isn't really good enough against two short-stacks with any two cards in each of their hands. Don't forget, they're short-stacked for a reason.

the fact that they're shortstacks makes me check this. otherwise i like a bet, you got a gutshot2overs, its like the best combo ever
