Is anybody checking against shorties here? I play such straightforward aggressive poker these days (thanks to this site) that I feel like I rarely get called when I have big hands ( NOT complaining I make my money pushing people off pots instead).

Since they are short I can probably get it in on the turn and there aren't any likely draws to worry me?

I know, just lead and collect if no one hit, just seems like I can't get anyone ai anymore...

Well, $1 is a large bet on a board like this. Maybe $0.60 would be better?

I think you have to bet there, a check in my opinion would look to suspicious, you never know you might get lucky and someone will think you are bluffing.

If they don't have a hand you aren't getting any money anyway...

OP: your bet is fine
