Default Re: scary board with top pair

Raise preflop and bet the flop.

Please stop pointlessly check-raising your strong hands on the flop. When you go for a check-raise, you should have a clear, well-articulated, specific reason for doing so. Here, you've got two LPPs in the hand, so going for a check-raise is insane. All you're doing is offering them the chance to take a free card. The way to beat calling stations is to bet and let them call with their junk; you do not beat them by letting them bet your hand for you.
