Fold. You're drawing to a 2 outter and someone is slow-playing their king or is afraid of the king w/ their AQ. It's not even worth checking here. Just open fold.

Oh my... it's LeCar.

bet and fold to a raise.

When I say not for veterans, not only do I mean people with high post counts who are good at poker, but also people who SUCK at poker with high post counts.

Although open folding does indeed rock.

I agree... I was trying to find some reason to bet it and then fold to a raise but with 4 players calling a preflop cap somebody has to hold at least an A. Anyone with a K might wait until the turn to pop it (just costing you money) and anyone with an A will most likely call down unless the action gets crazy. Too bad.

I'd consider checkraising.

18.5 SB. I'd go ahead and bet at it. If I'm called or raised, I'm done with the hand I think.

Honestly, I'm checking here. I'm going to try to get to a showdown cheaply and I don't think betting here does much for my hand.

I would bet it. Fold to a check raise. If you get to the turn check if possible.

I'd check this. If checked to me on the turn I bet it. The likelihood of a C/R here is HUGE. I really want the turn to give me more outs or a miracle where if I bet here and it comes back two bets I have to fold.
