If you limp pf then check the flop, someone close to your left will almost certainly bet.

Who exactly? How do you know they will "almost certainly bet"?

.....erm, top pair, middle pair, a flush draw, anyone making a stab for the pot having seen noone so far show any strength. I think it's far more likely that someone has a sniff and will bet than not. Don't you think there is any merrit or even possibility of a check/ raise?

If everyone limps/ folds I think you face draws and can then raise accordingly.

You can't limp on the flop [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] If someone bets and someone calls you can't say you are just facing draws.

Excuse my terminology. I think a made hand above 99 would raise a flop bet. I'd say anyone calling a bet is probably on a draw to beat 99.

I don't understand, what are you trying to accomplish with flop check-raise? How often are you going to be check-raising a pair of Jacks with the worst hand?

I'm trying to work out if I'm good, and if so charge more for draws. I think sometimes I will incorrectly check raise a pair of jacks, but not often.

Assuming a safe turn (and I think this is a safe turn), main threat is the pf bettor.

What preflop bettor? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] I think you said you want to complete preflop, so there is no raise.

Apologies, I meant flop bettor.
