[schwza]

i didn't like betting, because i would have to call a push with my outs, so i'd rather get the money in differently. i'm not too worried about a free card. also, i won't know where i stand against a flat call.

i didn't like check-calling, because i didn't know if i would get paid off if i hit. i also thought there was some chance i'd get blown off my hand by a worse hand on the river, or that i'd wind up paying off a Q.

i checked, villain bet 200, and i c/r'ed all-in. this pretty much killed the showdown value of my hand (if he calls, i'm not winning unimproved). but i thought this line might induce a bet from a weaker hand, a free card would not kill me (i can check-call if i miss), and even if i did get called by a hand like QJ, i have 9 + 3 scoop outs and 2 more chops. hardly a disaster.

villain folded.
