Re: Another hand from my PS $20 180 person final table
 

Does anyone check the flop here?

Try to induce a bet by a worse hand.

If he has an A or a PP we are only risking 2 or 3 outs. This pot has 24000 + 2000 + 3 ante ~ 27k in it. And our heros stack is new 55k.

I open alot of pots. So I never feel like checking is a huge tell when I do it...but if you're tighter it might not help.

If you are asking me, most of my experience is in SNGs when the stack/blind ratios are much different. It's really hard to say and depends a lot on who is there with me and table image. K6 was a bit loose for me in this case, but folded on button the previous 3 orbits as my cards had been rather horrendous and was annoyed at watching everyone else steal and I wanted to do it too. Obviously, just bad timing for me in this one.

I had been pretty loose in my stealing throughout, but had been generally throwing out continuation bets most of the time. I was afraid that a check by me might look more suspicious than anything here. If anything, I thought me betting this board might induce a re-raise bluff attempt in which case I could clean up. I really don't think that I could get away from the pot once I hit the K though. Could anyone else?
