20/40 hand. I don\'t know about this one.
 

6-handed 20/40 table. I raise in the CO with ATo. A generic 40/15 player calls on the button, a super-duper-famous 2+2'er that seems to play pretty tight and that just sat down calls in the SB, and some random dude calls in the BB.

Flop comes Q42r. SB checks, BB checks, I . . . check?

The obvious thing to do here is bet, but I'm suspecting that the super-famous 2+2'er might well have called there with a pocket, in which case here comes da checkraise. And I'm very tired of getting raised with my A-high at the 20/40 game.

Anyway, tell me what y'all think and then I'll tell you what I did.

Against two players I fire almost every time, against three I think it's real close and you should mix it up some percentage of the time, table dynamics play into this too.

I may fire once here if I have a decent image since it's a pretty dry rainbow flop and only one card in the playing zone. If I miss on a more coordinated board I probably check it.

I bet. If SB CRes and its HU I call and fold the turn UI.

the super-duper famous 2+2er i think calls with more hands than just PP's. i'd bet, of course.

I'd bet. If SB checkraises don't forget to raise a K turn.

Good thinkin'.

Okay, so I guess I should have bet. Bastards.
 

It's just that betting there is so obvious, and people seem to play back at me at 20/40 all the time when I do something obvious, that I thought a check here would be good -- saves me a couple of bets if I get checkraised or raised by the button, and I thought that that would happen at least 50% of the time.

Anyway, I checked, button bet, and much to my surprise, the 2+2'er and the BB folded, just leaving little ole me.

I checkraise. Given the situation, is this the right play? It definitely looks odd, I'll give you that.

i dont really like the checkraise... looks like youre FOS and he mioght make a big play at u by calling and raising turn w/ nothing.... just call and see the turn... prob checkcall him down.
