I like preflop, raising is fine too.
On the flop I like betting out and going broke over sb's raise.

I'm a big fan of the check/call on flop. The hope to jam a safe turn card, I think you get value from Ax that way.

Hmmm I think in a 3.40 Ax is coming along anyway and you have to protect your hand against worthlessness if another heart comes on the turn so I'd just bet out strongly and call a push.

Well, I guess in a 3.40 that is probably fine.....in say a $6.50 do you change this....a $16??

Thanks for the advice everyone.

[/ QUOTE ]I sometimes will check with a hand like this on a non-monotone flop with the intention of getting it all-in on the flop or turn. With two others in the hand, I felt it was important to go ahead and lead out here with the hearts on board.

Had UTG+1 raised/shoved and SB folds, I would've gotten it all in. The check min-raise from the SB seems scary, and based on previous experiences its been a monster.
