Default Re: Was I Playing To Win?

I don't like the check call on the flop. Here's why. Any good player is going to shut down on the turn if you check call the flop. It's by far the scariest thing you can do. Much scarier than betting and even scarier than check raising. If utg 1 has a hand or better yet, lag has a hand that is good but not great, your not going to get any action. If you bet, you should get a call or better yet a raise from A J, QQ, QJ, KJ, even another jack that lag might have.

Your best play is to bet out on this flop about half pot. This will still disguise your hand and will give them a chance to make a play at the pot, which is what you want.

Peace

Goodie
