potentially boring hand
 

30-60 online 6 handed. I'm winning but I may appear aggro at this point.

I open raise 9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]-9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] from the CO. SB, who seems unremarkable so far, 3 bets. I cap.

Heads up to the flop of: K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]-5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]-5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
I bet, he calls.

The turn is 8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]-5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]-5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img])

I paused longer that I usually do when deciding what to do, then I bet anyway. Guess because I knew I wouldn't fold to a check raise.

The alternatives to betting certainly do not appear attractive.

Oh, I should clarify.

The pause wasn't to decide if I should bet, it was to decide how I should respond to a check raise. I didn't feel like doing the whole call a raise because I have a half ass draw and then fold the river unimproved or call the river when I do make a flush, only to be shown a better flush type thing.

I would call down if check rasied for sure.

standard. Let him call you down with a small PP, or try to check-raise bluff you with the bare A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
