Checking the flop is giving up the pot.

Why 3b oop light if you are going to give up the pot?

You are putting yourself in very difficult situation for all of your chips, which should be your goal, not villain's.

If you had bet the flop, you most likely wouldn't have posted the hand.

Irrespective of this hand, your ideas on what constitutes "giving up the pot" are pretty misguided.

Care to elaborate a little more?

I def didn't say "Checking is giving up the pot, IN EVERY HAND, ALWAYS" so i am not so sure how you know what my idea of giving up the pot is?

You're statement starts with "irrespective of this hand", well, it just so happens I was only referring to this hand. Don't mean to sound defensive but I'm sure you have some explanation since you are probably a better player than me (I mean that). Thanks,
