Re: NL 50 - KK - did I eff this hand up?
[ QUOTE ]
What I am saying to him is if you're going to call your chips off thinking you may be behind to a str8, you mine as well take the lead in case he's on a draw or, exactly what happened may happen, getting sucked out by two pair by not leading out on the turn.
[/ QUOTE ]He didn't lose the hand because he checked. His opponent is calling a push anyways. You're being extremely results oriented here. As I already said I think betting is best but checking is ok because you can induce bluffs or get him to shove worse that he will fold to a bet so "might as well bet incase he's on a draw" is bad thinking for two reasons IMO 1) people are unlikely to have draws here and 2)people will bet a bigger range than they will call with here.
All that said I change my mind about betting being better.
