Default Re: Passive Until River

I like checking the flop.

You can fold (bad)
You can bet and MP will fold his terrible holdings (J5, whatever). If he calls or raises, you don't really get any information. He could do it with AA, which is crushing you, or something like JJ if he puts your donk on a 4 or 9. A raise will probably knock out sb, whereas sb is likely to call 1 with almost anything.

If you check, most of the time MP will bet your hand for you as a continuation bet, and SB should stay in (hopefully drawing slim).

I like your turn and river play.
