no reads, whats new. i would bet here 100% of the time in cash games fwiw. do i call a c/r, fold to a c/r? i would probably check behind river if i bet and he called. any of you check behind? and IF you bet, what size?

As a default I bet 300 and fold to c/r, and check behind river. Could change based on reads though.

YES, why would u want to check either (assuming river isnt too scary)

because people dont open raise much in mtts. theyre limping all over the place so often so that when they do raise their range is automatically fairly strong.
