Should I be scared?
 

2/4 Party full game. I'm on the button with K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Folded to CO who raises, I 3-bet, blinds fold, and he calls. I don't know if this means anything but he's sitting with a little more than 350 dollars.

Flop comes: Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].

He checks. I bet, he folds.

My question is, will I make more in the long run by checking this and letting him bet the turn? Or should I be deathly afraid of giving away that free card?

No. You'll lose more.

Not deathly afraid, but you don't need to give a free oppertunity for your opponent to catch up or pick up a monster draw.

Certainly not with this flop. He will usually flop a pair with QJ on board. A flush or straight draw is also possible. Most of the time you can expect him to call this flop when he has a worse hand.

Take his money.

Anyone just call his pf raise here and hope one of the blinds comes along as well?
