Smells vaguely of a weak flush to me. With no read it's a little tough to know what his calls mean. Taken at face value, he may have Q/weak too.

Stop IMing with me.

I check-raise here, or check-call lead turn.

I hate being raised here, hate being called here, and with a check-raise, you can safely fold a lot of things.

Durron- It seems like every hand you post always ends up with a check raise being suggested.

Have you *ever* check raised, you muppet?

The problem is when I check raise I have to commit a lot of my stack, almost as much as what it cost me to get to showdown in my line. Plus when I get called I still have pretty much no idea what my hand is worth.

I chose the line I took because it got me to showdown as cheaply as possible while still charging draws.

I called the turn because I have the T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].

The river is a standard blocking bet. It's an automuck if I get raised but it gets a lot of hands that I beat that might bet to just call (99, A6, etc.).

I often bet t15 (or in this case, t50) as a blocking bet on the turn and river when I have TPNK or TPMK since my hand has showdown value but I don't want to call a 1/2 pot to pottish bet. Fortunately, at the 22s and 33s, this works a LOT of the time.

Look at the size of the pot. No one will respect those bets. If I was BB I would treat a minbet the same way I would've treated a check.

Actually it seems I just never post the hands where I checkraise. Usually it's a standard semibluff or I have the nuts hand and thus not interesting.

I almost never checkraise w/a marginal hand except in large blind situations.

He had 32o. Maybe he folds if I c/r the flop? I think I extracted the most when ahead and lost the least when behind.
