Not folding to a bet that small.

I would have checked the turn.

[jakerc]

whats our rationale for checking turn? pot control/possibly up against a 10 and don't want to spew?

I've done this with a 10 before hoping the villian had an ace and lost his mind...

Yes.

[jakerc]

assuming we check turn, are we willing to call a bet? what size? and what do we do on the river assuming its a blank? i feel kind of lost in these situations, so i think some insight would help me out a lot.

Hero should make a bet closer to the pot on the flop.

Hero should make a 1/2 - 3/4 pot bet on the turn.

Hero should check and call the river for about a 1/2 pot bet.

That is my line...
