Default Re: Should I hate myself for c/c\'ing the whole way?

yes you should hate yourself. PF is a fold, if you choose to play it then you need to be raising flop.

Huh? Fold AJo in a 6-handed game?

In hands like this, I'd normally check-call the flop and turn for reasons such as the OP describes, especially if villan will fold a smaller pair to a check-raise, then bet out on the river. A lot of people will look you up with a worse hand, hands with which they would check behind. Win the max, lose the min . . .

I think that the flush draw supports checking the turn. If you bet the turn you risk being raised by AcX (X probably is a K-T based on your description). You'll probably never increase your win by betting out on the turn, might jeopardize even winning one more bet if they fold a worse hand that they'd bet with, and could lose three bets if they raise you (and you c-c the river).

If he checks behind on the turn you bet the river, of course.
