Anyone check behind on this flop?

[Karak567]

I chose to make a weak "continuation" bet to try to lure them in. If I check behind on the flop, I think that might smell fishy, seeing my PF raise, agreed?

Your hand is incredibly strong. There's a chance they are BOTH drawing dead. I think a check behind here is by far the best play to getting more chips. Giving a free card here is 99.5% risk free.

check and let them hit their crub frush.

Preflop:
As the button here I probbaly often smoothcall preflop but raising isnt bad. The limper makes me slightly more inclined to raise but the raise in front of me was big enough that he might not even call that and I'm not terrified of playing against 2 hands here.

FLop:
If I had just smoothcalled I would not be surprised to see the raiser bet into me. If he did check I would probbaly throw out a small bet trying to look like I was just tryin to pick up the pot. Sometimes I would just check.

Since you raised preflop I think I would usually check but may rarely bet small like 50ish. At the 33 most people wont be totally scared by your preflop raise and then your postflop check. Your main goal is to get both of these guys to stick around and just pray they hit the next card(s) hard.

[Matt R.]

This is a situation where you've pretty much crippled the deck, and there's almost no way you're getting any more chips out of them if you bet the flop (unless one of them has the other ace). Give them a free card. If they like their hand enough to call a flop bet with, they would have bet it anyway (AK might've gone for a check/raise). At least give them the option to make a hand, or let them think it's possible you have KK and are scared of the ace.

[durron597]

There are only 4 aces in the deck, and you are looking at three of them. So chances are your opponents have pocket pairs or big suited cards like KQs. I want to give them a chance to try to bluff into me since I have position, so yes I check behind. I might also bet really small like t50.

Check it up! Smoothcalling before the flop is great too.

I hate not reraising preflop. It's a great way to either trap yourself for your whole stack or only win a small pot.

Bet 200.
Flush draws will autocall or C/R all-in, JJ/QQ will probably call, and you may provoke a psycho lag to come over the top with anything because your bet looks weak. Note: I think 125 is too small and looks sort of suspicious. You want to make whatever bet a C-bettor would make with KK. (a little less than this actually)
