Value-bluff?

Turn is definitely a check...and I probably fold a blank river. You really beat nothing.

i like folding pre w/o reads.

as played i like checking the turn.

[On_The_Grind]

Calling pre-flop is fine.

Check turn for pot control.

[FishSticks]

This hand is a good example of why folding preflop is okay.

Note: I'm a 50NL regular.

I would definitely check turn. Pre-flop I would think folding here would be fine. It's your first orbit and you know nothing about the players, their 3betting ranges, and how they play post-flop. And he knows nothing about you so if he's good he's probably not 3betting light.

[Chaos_ult]

I fold preflop absent any reads, calling is okay too though.

I definitely check behind turn for pot control. If he calls your all in, you're behind or splitting.

Except QQ, KK, Ax, etc, you mean, right?

It's not really pot control, only one bet left. Its mostly cause we should have trouble getting value from worse.
