Position - Stars - $100PL FR

[ipp147]

Is this a good spot or do you think I am getting check raised a lot here? Should I just give this up on the flop?

I don't really know the players at Stars. I've literally just started clearing some stacked bonuses there.

i fold on the flop to this action every time. though you appear to be getting decent odds on a call, you lack strong redraws and any card that could make you the best hand could easily be making you the SECOND best hand instead... this could get expensive.... lacking good reads, fold the flop

i'd guess you were up against a couple small sets- a good thing, because a straight or set with redraws coulda check-raised you into a world of hurt in the turn (i would've, anyway).... though, on the other hand, i find that with weak players, a bet like that on the flop followed by a check on the turn means that they no longer like their set with a straight on board, and are begging you to take it away with a pot bet.
