Default Re: Stupid spot I get myself into quite a bit

That flop is so horrible that I probably just check and give up (I mean, besides the hands that beat you, you're potentially giving money to hands like JT and XsXs if Button calls with the plan of betting if checked to on the turn).

On the bright side, there is some chance of folding out JJ and I guess maybe QJ or something, and a bet does at least make it harder for a hand like 99 to steal the pot from you. So the decision doesn't seem easy to me, but you are in an annoying spot where a bet is basically a bluff that will mostly just fold out worse hands.
