If you check this flop are you calling nothing/one bet/two bets or maybe even 3-bets?

against a guy with a postflop aggression of 1, i'm probably calling nothing. maybe one small bet.

against a more aggressive villain, probably one reasonably-sized bet. against a thinking, aggressive villain, maybe two bets at times.

The problem I have with checking is that it can get you into a lot of crappy situations, also do you check AK/AA/KK here on the flop as well?

[/ QUOTE ]

yes, very often. in fact, i'd almost never bet this flop with these hands if i didn't want to be able to balance for the times i'll have air on this flop.

you can check this flop with three queens or an overpair and the pot will still be big enough after you bet the turn for you to reasonably put him all in on the river.

I guess we have different approaches to 3-bet pots in that case, I bet most flops in 3-bet pots (excepth the extremely ugly ones or against certain villains/messed up image) you are apparantly checking most flops. To each his own I guess, but I prefer being the agressor nearly always...
