No..just go ahead and bet...only hand sticking around is a king...and a king will raise you if you lead out, or check if you check. This becomes a monster if a king is out there...and the king is a cooler against aces.

Re: NL100 - Should Hero go for a check-raise or bet?
Don't know what PS bet increments are but, on FT I bet the turn for $10.85.
(roughly $11) Anyone who has played against me knows I bet strange amounts but, if I could bet $10.81 I would...

Re: NL100 - Should Hero go for a check-raise or bet?
Eh I would be tempted to check the turn. Its true that you only get action if he has a king, but he will bet this without a king if you check it to him. You raise and get it all in if he has a king, but if he doesn't he folds and you gain his bet, whereas he would just fold if you lead out.

[/ QUOTE ] I think you're right...A non-king will likely check behind and just call the river bet..whereas a king will check behind and raise the river bet. He's not that deep, so you dont need to work to hard to get his stack in. Good idea.

[/ QUOTE ] Maybe I'm wrong, but most sLAGish players wouldn't bet this turn unless they had a King, and even then I doubt they would. So if you check the turn you are most likely missing out on a chance to build the pot up to put all your chips in. There is no need to try and trap villain by check-raising.
