nice to see you drop in krishan, hope the book is going well.

I would lead out in hand 2, but if you have a read on an agressive LP player then a c/r is an option. I think i prefer leading out though.

The pot was only three-way; UTG, the SB and me. I checked knowing it was nearly 100% that the pre-flop raiser would bet. I wanted to check-raise both players while I still had two cards coming. The pot is three-handed and there's no chance I force out a hand better than my pair no matter what I do on the flop. If anyone plays back at my check-raise, I know I need to improve. If they just call, I figure I'll fire at a blank turn and take it down sometimes, having plenty of outs those times we see the river.

So, what's the advantage of leading in your opinion?
