Re: Folded QQ on the flop
[ QUOTE ]
Yeah, the flop being checked behind is an unfortunate and very possible outcome. Though, I still like checking because:
-Should the flop get checked behind, villain would be encouraged to call down with weaker pairs
-Villain, if behind, is drawing close to dead in a smallish pot, and thus a free card isn't detrimental
-I think it allows the hand to be played out in a more straight-forward manner (Hardly a pro for checking, but I'm getting desperate [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img])
I think checking is definitely the way to go if we call preflop (which is a good option, in my opinion). Though I think with the 3-bet pf, betting and checking are very close.

Not 3-betting pre flop would be a pretty big mistake. You would be giving the bb 5:1 to call a raise from a blind steal and giviing up value from the button. This would be a pretty bad time to slow play.
