50 nl. I'm about even. I have the third highest stack of those involved in this hand.
Raise to $2 with black TT from mp. BB and two EP limpers call.
Flop: K /images/graemlins/heart.gif J /images/graemlins/heart.gif 9
Checked through. Is this a mistake?
Turn: T (no heart)
BB bets $3, EP1 pushes, EP2 and I fold.
This seems about right. Basically my only question is whether checking through on flop was right. I didn't really want to open up the betting with a middle-low pair on this draw heavy board and be faced with a check-raise. I knew that if i hit my set on the turn I was going to fold anyway, no reason to stay in the hand when I'm going to fold unless I improve to a straight, right? Also, am I really scared of a heart here with two high hearts already out?
I just switched over to the cash game grind from STTs, so sorry if these questions are novice/easy.
