Re: Stupid spot I get myself into quite a bit
When you are oop with a marginal hand, picking up the pot is not bluffing. You may have the stronger range vs his range, but he HAS Position.
It's like in chess, where you have the stronger setup (say more pieces, like up a pawn), but he has the better position. You don't want to surrender the initiative here. Bet and pick it up against someone who can fold a better hand and charge draws.
If you had KK, the decision would be harder and I would check there some of the time.
