Re: A6o from SB
I like to check this from early position, especially if there are more players in the flop. If I get a relatively early bettor, I just fold out. If the last guy is the first to bet, I check-raise and try to win the pot right there against a bluff (happens sometimes). This hand isn't going to turn into a monster and the more folds the better. If I get re-raised I fold; if I get called, I just want to get away from the hand cheaply or see a free showdown. You'll often get to showdown for free or at most one big bet since no one wants to get check-raised again. (I don't care if someone obviously draws out on me and starts betting, since I just fold and don't think twice about it.) If it checks all the way through, I bet out on subsequent turns and typically get paid off pretty well, since everyone assumes second or third pair is good and stays to showdown with garbage.
