Default Re: line check with TPGK

I'm playing this passively the whole way because of the J. The only A you beat is AT and everything else is drawing thin to you (on the flop.) The SB is padding and paying for his draw already. Also, by letting the SB stick around you keep the CO more honest and it will be easier to judge where you are in the hand. As played I really don't see what you beat on the river from a player with those stats, but he's a little too loose and aggressive so I call down hoping for a chop or some kind of overplay. The 3rd heart on the turn though does make things difficult and I'm guessing that's why you bet out. There is a definite risk of it being checked through here and that isn't great obviously in this large pot, but notice that at least it does make the river easy to play. It's tough to weigh the fact that you're WA/WB here with giving a free card.
