btw, the play is c/f or c/c, never push. If you push, you mostly get called when crushed. when you check, he pushes all kinda stuff.

personally I go for the check/call, but avioding going broke isn't really my strength.

I would disagree with this.
As long as you don't fold here ever your line is fine, but lots of midpairs are calling a crai on the flop and on the flop your stack smaller than the pot.
c/c c/c shove river if turn checks through is a fine line, and it is probably pretty close or even slightly better to crai, but it doesn't matter much.

I see how check-calling can gain you the most against midpairs, etc, by letting them hang themselves. I guess you can just open another sng if you're calling a shove by a K, as this doesn't happen ridiculously often.

How is checking this flop any better than folding? Seems like you're either way-ahead or way-behind. I cbet to 1/3-1/2 the pot, then let it go if you're called/raised. At least with the cbet, you'll lose a little to know a lot and I'm betting you'll take down the pot a majority of the time in such cases :/

This made my head hurt. This is really wrong on a lot of levels.

So you're looking to c/c leaving yourself with a 1600 stack on the turn knowing that even if you fold, you still have a large enough stack (considering the blinds) to work with?

eh, no, I'm never folding. I'm letting him bet me all in.

It was a real fold, but it wasn't insta.

How so? Before I folded, I thought about c-betting but couldn't figure out an appropriate amount that would gain me the info I was looking for. Seemed to be that any significant c-bet would have repped a good portion of my stack.

In WA/WB spots betting folds out worse gets called by better.

Nice laydown.

On another note, judging from your previous posts you should probably move up to where people respect your folds and you can put your superior hand reading skills to better use (people at 5.50s play everything!). I suggest the 105s. Good luck!
