Default Re: Early FTP 1k hand

Flop check is fine, but you have to put more thought into why you're doing it and how it affects Villain's perception of your hand. If he's not a mouth breather (and he may well be, I dunno), he isn't going to pay off two streets when you go check-bet-bet on this board after re-raising pre. Your hand is pretty transparent there.

I'm inclined to say that bet-check-bet is the best way to get him to call two streets with the widest range. If you do check, it should be to represent a big pair that isn't happy about the Ace. You're enticing him to bluff you off QQ or something, so either check again or lead kind of weak on the turn and hope he does raise, then call and check-call river. I would have preferred a weaker turn bet, but this is basically what you've done, so call and check-call river.
