Artanis11 :

What's your plan behind betting so small preflop and checking behind on a flop you hit? Normally I'd say bet more preflop and cbet flop and see what their action is. It wins you the pot often enough and leaves you with a lot more information than a too small bet + check on flop.

If you don't know what to do on random turns, why are you checking the flop?

Checking the flop is fine and w/e depending on why you are doing it - but certainly it shouldn't be so you can fold here

The preflop raise size is really irrelevant: It's still a lot to call for anyone not on the blinds, and I have position on the blinds so that's all good.

I'm checking the flop because I feel that if I bet, I'm only going to get action when I'm beat since all my bets would commit me to the hand. I must admit that I didn't have a plan on how to play it on the turn though.

if you're not willing to put money in on the flop with this hand you should fold it pre

you should fold it pre anyway, but you should definitely bet this flop. if it was hu then checking is a better option.

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh the fold pre is debatable, I mean yeah you do have a pretty much perfect resteal stack now, but you have a decent hand and I like to steal at the late blind lvls from EP a lot. I guess it would depend on gameflow and how I felt the table thought I was playing if I raise or fold pre. As played I would call turn and probably call most rivers. If he checks I'd value bet most (again depending on the river card)

i bet this flop most of the time, as played i think its a close fold

i always lead this flop around 60%, give up to resistance

You tried to induce a bet by checking flop behind right?

your in a pickle now, if you call he will most likely shove any river

and a push/raise is now very risky

fold (unless the guy is a total donk )
