My Empire histories weren't getting sent last night for some reason, so this is mostly from memory.
Only my 2nd orbit at the table. No specific player reads yet, but the table seems to be pretty juicy.

In retrospect I probably had a mild case of FPS on the flop and turn, but I like to mix up my play a little bit early on in case there are any decent players paying attention.

EmpirePoker 2/4 Hold'Em (10 handed)

Preflop: Keats13 is BB with A/images/graemlins/heart.gif, A/images/graemlins/spade.gif. MP3 posts a blind of $2
UTG+1 calls, MP2 calls, MP3 (poster) checks, Button raises, SB folds, Keats13 3-bets, UTG+1 cals, MP2 calls, MP3 (poster) folds, Button caps, Keats13 calls, UTG+1 calls, MP2 calls.

Flop (17.5 SB): 4/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, Q/images/graemlins/club.gif, 7/images/graemlins/heart.gif
Keats13 bets, UTG+1 calls, MP2 folds, Button raises, Keats13 calls, UTG+1 calls

Turn (11.75 BB): J/images/graemlins/spade.gif
Keats13 checks, UTG+1 bets, Button calls, Keats13 raises, UTG+1 calls, Button folds

River (16.75 BB): Q/images/graemlins/heart.gif
Keats13 bets...

Immediately after betting I was kicking myself, as a check-call is probably a much higher EV play in this case. Thoughts?
