5/10 Stud - Bet or Bait #1?

[PoorLawyer]

I went with bet, but given his limp, then check, his hand has to be pretty weak I think. Should I just wait until 5th and hope he catches a piece or bet it and move on to the next hand?

Betting has meta value for future hands. Always bet.

Most of the time in this situation, you're going to want the other guy to fold. Also, that one pair is going to be your final hand a lot of the time, and you don't want the other guy drawing out for free. I think you have to bet here.

I agree as well. I think this is a bet just about every time.

How many times do you piss yourself off by checking and how many by betting?

Always move forward
