I bet about 3. But I'm a compulsive c-better. As an unknown at 50nl I assume he plays relatively straightforward I'm not super worried about a check raise. Anyone check behind to avoid getting raised off the draw?

[vixticator]

I'd check behind about 20-30% of the time but bet more than 50%. It depends on my opponent. I'll check top pair, weak kicker every now and then on the flop too just to keep the pot small and allow my opponent to bluff turn. Against most players this is a good c-betting spot. But you also want to draw for free sometimes.

I checked behind because I think a Kx hand c/r here a lot. Id rather extract value from a Kx hand when I'm ahead than when I'm drawing. He ended up checking the turn and I took it down there on the S-B.
