Re: Lets say I\'m the BB. Is check/folding the flop wrong?
Well, if it is wrong, it's definitely not very wrong. Even if BB is ahead, the field is obviously drawing very live against him.
But with a 9TT board, I figured there was a decent chance I was ahead. I mean, why should someone have a Ten? And who plays hands with a nine in them? Especially when a lot of the sixes and tens that go with them are accounted for?
If I checked, there would be a bet and raise (both of which could easily come from overcards or draws) and I'd have to fold what may well be the best hand. I hate doing that. But if I bet and it got 3-bet, I could easily fold without any question - someone would have to have at least a nine to 3-bet here.
Once it was raised and called, I planned to fold to a bet and call if I didn't improve on the turn. Frankly, I wasn't terribly thrilled with my hand when the flop cold-caller raised on the turn. I thought there was a decent chance he flopped a full house or quads.
