Re: Best line to take here?
[ QUOTE ]
A question to those advocating betting out on the flop. The Villian is just about certain to be about 8% likely to win (higher pocket pair) or even less (in need of a runner runner straight or flush). It seems to me that betting out the flop maximizes the chance of the one intolerable result-- the villain folding-- which is a disaster. Thoughts please?

If villain has a middle pocket pair he probably won't fold flop.
If you fail to c-bet, it should get him suspicious, and he will probably check behind. The question is if it is likely to extract chips from him on the turn.
I started out saying checking flop is horrible. That was an exagertation. Given stack sizes and everything, it's an allright play. This is all to the reasonable posts of BakingAce.
Anyhow, my preference is still leading.
