I agree, and I think the rest of the hand was played perfectly, including the turn bet.

What if the turn had been the 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]?

I think I'm having trouble finding the best line holding overcards on the turn against one opponent.

It seems like I get check-raised more often than I get my opponent to fold.

In general would it be better to check behind (when I have position) and make a decision on the river when my opponent inevitably bets? Is there such a thing as "in general"?

I have a question about the turn.In general on the turn when you pick up the draw(more outs) arent you better off to check? Lets say the turn was a rag and you get raised you could lay your hand down.(i know this is player dependent)But when you pick up more outs you really don't want to lay your hand down.I guess what i am trying to say is doesn't boil down to check (call) with outs and bet (raise) with no outs.Thanks Ice

not always. in this case yes.

I Like the call if SB is aggressive at all, as he could easily have missed heart draw, or missed OESD at least 10% of time.

Don't know how much of a "pro" I am, but I've played a dencent amount of the PP 15, and I would play this the exact same against a lot of opponents there.

OK I agree this is a bad river call -- the reason I called is with a draw heavy board, if he check raised the turn on ANY sort of draw (open ended straight, hearts) he definately missed them all when the 10 paired the river. That is why I called the river.

Looking at the responses and thinking about this hand a bit more I think checking the turn here was a better play.
