I guess theere's an argument for this 3-way. FDs have missed, and i cant see one of them going for a CR w a straight.

I often check on the end when draws miss since its unlikely im gonna be called by a worse hand, but I'd make a small bet here hoping for a call from a worse J

Why no bet on flop on hand #2. More than half the deck is bad for your hand.

As played turn and river is fine.

[Oct0puz]

Why are you checking the flop?

[kaah]

the flopcheck was a spur of the moment kind of a thing. I want value and at the same time slowplay and potcontrol and I think I got this by checking flop.

You dont like it? [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I like hand #2 a lot.

[scv]

Your hand is really vulnerable and there are tons of draws out there. So no, I dont like the check here.

[Oct0puz]

You get value here by betting and making drawing hands to pay, not by checking. So protect your hand, there's a ton of draws out there incl. overcards. And slowplay is something you do when you have a monster and want others to make a second best hand.
