well, i think "puke" is a viable option

but on balance i check and see what button does. if there's something like a bet and c/r to me i fold. if he bets and BB folds i usually shove, sometimes call, but i hate calling on this board. this all depends on your opinion of button though-- i.e. is he likely to just fire at this board when you check to him, or is he not betting -AQ?

Bet 700, fold to a raise... this is not a very tough hand. If you get flatted, check.

I'm going with nath on this one. Check with the intent of shoving if button bets and BB folds, fold when button bets and BB jams.

Why are you so willing to risk 40 BB w 2nd pair on this flop? How often does button show up w AK/KQ/set and looks you up figuring u for a draw or 5 outer semibluff instead of a better made hand?

I bet here probably a tad over half pot. C/ring the button seems pretty retarded.

Just thinking, I might be up too late, but how bad is c/c the button? Shove turn if any diamond shows then check to button if no improvement and see his action? I"m just trying to think past a standard line b/c c'raising all in only get called by better hands unless he gives himself the right odds on his bet to call w/ a flush/str draw, but you might get him to laydown a wide range of hands tp, two pair, set by repping a flush if the turn come a diamond. and he might also take a free card on the turn if its checked thru ,which will give me some more info if no diamond/str card hits on river/turn.

wish I had a better read on this guy, that would help a ton, ie what nath was talking about.
