Hey duder, when we talked about my similar K8 hand from the SB, you said you'd check the flop. Why no check here?

yea the moment i made my flop bet i realized that i had told you opposite advice. and in your situation it was a better flop bet than here because it was more shorthanded and you had a better kicker.

that said, theres no real easy way to play these hands, by checking you're allowing hands to stay in that you don't want to stay in and may be forced to fold the best hand to too much action after you. however, you could of course not have the best hand or have a very vurnurable one that you'd like to see what develops first. which is why position is so important in these aggressive games.

so what's really the best way to play this flop?

on the turn i didn't really have a plan except that i could be playing for a chop or still have the best hand. and that river was pretty much the best card i could hope for and checked with the intention of calling, though, anybody like betting here?

anyhoo, river got checked through and MHIG.
