I love donkeys that always slowplay top pair or better and always bluff with worse.

i suspect leading out will win this poll by a landslide. im betting this the vast majority of times, against certain oponents i might check tho

[RichGangi]

You absolutely want to stick to what you've been doing. It would look way too suspicious(to good players, anyway) if you were to check here. FWIW: I love checking here when I completely miss every so often. Looks so scary.(If I've been c-betting a lot, that is.)

[AlfilRey]

Well fwiw, I was the one who felt checking in this spot was better. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for fastplaying my big hands, but this is not the spot. A few key points of note:

1. They are all only $100 deep.
2. They have all insta-folded in the last few rounds. It is clear these players are weak-tight.

I honestly think there's way more money to be made IN THIS PARTICULAR SPOT by slowplaying, though. At stakes of $2/4 or higher, I generally lead out given history. But these guys are on level 1 thinking, and I think it's very costly to not "dumb down" our play, as superficial as it may seem to the regular MSNL winners on 2+2

Build a pot vs. a T/FD whatever. Generally when we have the nuts in unlimited betting texan holding them we like to commit as much money to the pot as possible. Checking does not meet this rule.

[tagtastic]

I'd lead out here vs. most opponents. Best chance of getting big value or stacking a 5, overpair or good T.

People tend to call down a lot on the flop on paired boards vs. aggro opponents with low pairs or even A high. I would consider checking the turn here depending on who my opponents were.

OP, i would've given you like 10:1 on this bet.

another point is that when you check and then later put in a ton of action it becomes pretty clear you have a monster.

[ahnuld]

so if they have always been folding they may be getting fed up?? hmm????

[HSGambler]

bet for sure
