I've been going for a checkdown in these spots. Is that best?

if villain only hits 1/3 of flops, it seems like if we bet 2BB in these spots we should show an immediate profit. Thoughts?

Meh, I'd just check these down. You've got bottom pair, with a lousy kicker and the pot is very small. I don't bother with these.

[CrustyFace]

For me it entirely depends on how many people i'm up against and whether i think the flop helped them.

If youre betting here, would you bet if you completely missed the flop?

[Paul Thomson]

leading si fine here. the flop almost surely missed him.

check-calling and leading the turn is also good.

well, I'd be betting bottom pair or better and and draws OESD or better, plus some gutshots with a chance to hit overcards for TP. So no. Would I need to balance my play more than that?
