Re: A bit of a playalong from a video hand of mine..

Why would we bet? He either has air, then he'll likly fold, or he has us beat. I doubt he'll call with A2. This is the third overcard to our pair - not the right time to get aggro. OTOH, given the read that he's pretty aggro, I could see him semi-bluff raise here with an oesd. I'm fine with check and MAYBE calling a bet. But I doubt it. C/f is my line.

My first response to the turn was to check-fold, but I think betting out here helps us more than hurts us. I would rather be bluffing at the straight or a 10 rather than making another tough choice about my weak pair here. Let him make the choices. This is one of those times where you're playing the player IMO. We don't really like our hand here so ultimately we WANT him to fold. I don't think we want to show down and I don't think this guy ever checks behind unless he's already drawing in which case it will be to 4x more outs than we are.
