Default Re: First round hand from 50+5

Blockers are not something that I've really incorporated into my game. What hands do you think somebody is going to push with on the river having gotten there in this fashion? QJ is obvious, but why is QJ calling that flop action (unless we put UTG+1 on QJ)? 97 is a possibility as well, but again, I expect to see some more turn action there, since the pot is already substantial and there's zero reason to encourage a flush draw to come along. I think a set would have acted up a while ago with the flush draw and such heavy interest in the pot, so I don't take that possibility seriously. I also think AK is nearly impossible. Possibly A6 or A8. Maybe a K on a serious bluff.

So I guess while it seems unlikely that somebody might bluff raise you on this board, I also think it's unlikely that any of the hands you fear made it to this point in the hand, so I'm not sure I fold to a push here. Why not check to induce a bluff?
