only scary villain has 600$ LP.

EP villain raises to 7$, 5 callers, hero makes it 25$. everyone calls, in fact someone goes all in for 30$ total, everyone just calls the 5$.

flop (176$ after rake):

7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

checks to scary villain who pushes. small stack calls for 30$, puts his head down (he has been beaten real bad all night), hero ?

Why check the flop? Lead for $150.
