Re: bottom two theory
[ QUOTE ]
this is tough against an unknown. I usually wait for the turn,for the reasons stated and because scare cards can actually win you the pot even when you are behind.

Given that hes OOP, perhaps a scare card on the turn will slow him down enough for either option of:
a) representing a bigger hand (ie. He holds 67 and the turn is a J or Q)
b) He makes the mistake of checking (perhaps wrongfully slowplaying or legitimately concerned of a bigger hand) and you check along for the free cards, hopefully making the boat on the river.
c) Trying to get as cheap of a showdown as possible.
If he pushes me enough though, I'm out of there. Way too many hands already have me beat, might catch up to beat me and/or I'm drawing dead. I like to be the one dictating the action, and with a hand like bottom two, even if I'm in position, I don't feel comfortable enough with the situation (extremely dangerous board) to do so as aggressively as I'd like. Unknown variables such as table image (his and mine), stack size and his proceeding turn action will probably make the decision for me.
