Default Re: How do you play this?

this forum has to lear how to play postflop, you guys are so terrified about giving free cards.

I'm sorry but I really can't see how checkraising could be some kind of a standard play in the 20+2's here. Feel free to teach me and us though. I understand that checkraising would be nice if you knew that button would often bet and fold to a raise. I just don't see that being the case here.
Isn't it pretty ABC to be terrified of giving away free cards with a crappy jack top pair on a straight+flush coordinated board against two opponents who can be holding pretty much anything even in a cash game? Add to that the fact that you are in a tournament where you especially want to reduce the risk of going broke even if it slightly damages your CEV.

Of course you haven't necessarily lost the hand if the turn card comes, but a large portion of the turn cards are scary to you, and you don't have position to help you there.
