Re: A Hand from the 2+2 Table that I don\'t think I played very well

TheMainEvent checks, Hero checks.

What's your reasoning for checking the turn here? Free card? Afraid that you'll be check raised?
I disagree with the turn check. By checking the turn, you have invited TME to bet the river. Bet the turn, hope for him to fold, if not take the free showdown. If you get checkraised, fold.
All three situations involve putting one bet at risk, but by betting the turn gives you the chance to solidly define hands. A turn checkraise as a bluff would seem unlikely given the pf capping and the ace on the flop.
