Looks fine, although i'd lead the flop.

i like a check raise here vs a 23/18. looks fine imo.

I think a c/r gets more folds of better hands than a lead, so I like it.

I thought he might take a stab with whiffed hands like AQ and AK if checked to. Downside is that I give him a free one if he decides not to. But that's only 2 cards I'm afraid of.

Good use of the check raise. Did he call?

[slush420]

this is fine. you'll probably see jj and qq a lot here but you've maximized fold equity with a hand that has outs against sets and overpairs

Yeah, he flipped over Kings. I hit my straight and he called me a donkey.

seems okay, like what happens when you get called you'll be behind but you'll fold out alot of his range. Even against Kings and Aces you have 10 outs, you're only in real bad shape against JJ or QQ.
