Default Re: Hi/Lo checkraise fifth?

This looks like a good spot to bet and hope someone picked up a low draw they'll brick with or a pair they'll peel with and then the other tard with a Jack up will draw almost dead against you.

It's WAY more likely it will check to the J and he'll give a free card than having him bet and get to make the AQ4 pay two bets to draw.

There are spots to c/r to try to knock someone out or to just make the pot as huge as possible but this is not one of them. The J is obviously a moron but he also has shown no aggression yet so I'm not going to count on him to bet. If he was smart then I would think he should be fairly suspicious of your check because it makes no sense to not bet with your hand so you must be going for a c/r. That said he might bet anyway with his Js hoping that you will raise to get the other guy out and increase his chances of winning the pot or half of it. However like I said this guy hasn't done anything but call so I'm not going to just hope he decides to try and play well.
