Re: ATo in BB - simple flop question
I check-raise every time and consider it virtually the only play in online games without a read that my opponents are very passive. I just don't see flops getting checked through often enough to pass on a chance to let them bluff at it.
Note that in a pot this small I'm really not very concerned about protecting my hand, so I'm happy to take a little risk if it means getting somebody to put in a small bet drawing very thin. It's a rare event that I lose the parlay of:
a) it gets checked through
b) somebody who would have folded catches to beat me
however, the event of someone betting who wouldn't have called happens all the time. Easy check IMO.
