I'll just add in that I've played nearly a thousand hands of 5/10 6-max on PokerStars this week, and if this hand happened to me online in this situation, I'd be betting here about 93% of the time. 5% would be to mix it up and c/r, and 2% would be a misclick.

Granted, my online stakes are small stakes, and players in mid-stakes (15/30 and up) are more likely to bet this flop, so I can see why you might checkraise. But I still think betting is the best play as a default.

Not only small stakes, but also 6-max.

I never said that [sound like there's no alternative], and I addressed this misguided complaint in my last post. I'm just arguing for betting as the default play given no other information.

I guess it was the tone of which you made your initial post:

Are you guys trying to make me cry? ... Argh. This is so standard.

The tone of that post made me believe that you wanted to lock the thread because it was absolutely stupid for anyone to even argue for a check-raise alternative. Admit it, you were probably on the verge of doing it. With the tone and content of that post alone, my belief is that a lot of people who would even think of expressing a post containing "check-raise" might have backed off in fear of being ridiculed.

It's "perspective."

Damn it, I'm intensely studying "prospective" and "retrospective" scheduling of amortization schedules for my test. I knew this would bite me in the a**.
