A2 suited in small blind facing a preflop raise
I thought this hand was sort of interesting. Normally, I'd check on the turn, but the guy who initially bet the flop has been getting out of line, and I have put him in his place a couple of times. I'm not sure how much I like my flop checkraise, as it's pushing a very, very small edge. However, I figured that doing it would give me a bit of fold equity on the turn. This is good, as the pot is pretty big. Comments on all streets are appreciated.

Re: A2 suited in small blind facing a preflop raise
Err checking the turn is pretty weak in this spot. Even if you didn't have any folding equity I would still bet for image sake. Check/raising the flop and then check/calling the turn after it gets HU is a dead giveaway as to what you hold. Anyway, I lead out on the flop with this hand and it is 100% for value. If the button raises, I consider just calling the raise and then lead out again if I make the flush and check/call otherwise.

Re: A2 suited in small blind facing a preflop raise
You check/call the turn because you don't have enough opponents to bet for value and I don't think you can get him to fold. I'd say there is a good chance he made something on the flop. You could be ahead if he is on a lower flush draw, but that is less likely.

I ended up betting the turn and he folded. MHIG.
