Check-calling in the big blind
20/40 live, seven-handed. Both hands are headsup with the only loose aggressive player at the table. How often is this passive style of play correct?
Hand 1: MP opens. All folded to me in BB with Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]10 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. I call.
FLOP: Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]5 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
I check, MP bets, I call.
TURN: 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
I check, MP checks.
RIVER: 3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
I check, MP bets, I check-raise. MP thinks a bit and calls.
