Default Re: Am I splitting/ahead enough to call, 10/180

Unless you're saying AK/AQ checks behind, which I think never happens, especially with two clubs out there.

[/ QUOTE ]No, but a lot of other hands that you're ahead of DO bet, so you can't say "he bet this flop, I must be beat, I fold". So checking doesn't tell you if he has a better hand or not. Heck, the guy checked behind and you still aren't certain where you are in the hand. Checking this flop is an invitation to be bet off your hand by something worse. But all of this is why you don't play ATo out of position against a raiser.
