Did he only play pf and left, or what [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]?

I b/f. He may pay off with A-high or smaller PP.

If he holds a FD he won't bet it all the time. Hero range is pretty much A-big kicker and PP<TT. And Hero is looking to induce a bluff from a missed FD (what other hands would U play like this from UTG+2 (think about it)). That would be my thought if I was villain. Therefor no bluff.

Whether betting out or checking is a better way to get money in is player/read dependent. Is this the type of player to check/call to the river with a flush draw or is it more likely he has Ace-high or a small pair. Put him on a most likely hand and act accordingly. If you think he has a smaller pair or will pay off with an ace then bet out. If he is more likely to have a busted draw then checking to induce a bluff is best.

I think straight forward play like value betting will reward you at these limits. Inducing bluffs and check/raising, etc is not as +EV, your opponents are not that sophisticated.

I think this is good. When MP2 calls turn, his range is typically pretty narrow to a FD a weak king or decent T, small PP or some ridonkulous 2 or 4. Against this range I prefer a check.

Looks like a busted flush draw to me.... looks fine as played. NH
