betting is ok as long as you don't bet fold. Check calling is probably ok as long as you don't fold to one bet. I think I like beting a little more though because we may get a few folds.

I don't see how a flop bet is +EV at this table.

I would also check the turn for the same reasons I would check the flop.

[ninenine_zoe]

i think this bet is some sort of microtilting and obviously -EV. as i stated in the first post, this hand may be superstandard, at least the results will be somewhat entertaining.

of course i c/c the turn.

I check and call one back to me, hopefully getting about 12:1 on the call. I'm not even sure thats right as even if it was checked around I don't expect to be winning.

If this river checks through, your Ace is good almost 100% of the time. Frankly, I'm tempted to check/fold here. However, I think bet/folding is best. You're almost never going to get raised by a hand that can't beat an Ace and you guarantee that random nines and small overpairs that just got rivered don't check behind.

I think I like checking and calling just because the pot will be big enough by that point, and heck, hero does have TPTK. I don't think anything more aggressive is warranted here, and I expect to see some 1-pair, 2-pair, straight, and maybe even flush hands. Great table, though!

IMO, viva le bet/fold of the river.

I can't disagree with this at all. With this board and these villains, it almost seems like everyone just puts their bets into the pot at the same time (synchronized calling?)... which makes little difference between bet/fold and check/call. Bottom line is that hero's hand is worth showing down for 1 bet. I'm curious to see the results.

[NL Newbie]

Bet flop isnt to bad, may clear some outs &amp; fold some of them. Im calling anyhow.

Turn C/c FD.

River - Bet fold i think, these guys will tell you if they have a flush or straight!
