Re: I just give up on AT
Turn fold is clear cut.
Flop check is marginal but my preference.
The most important issue here is the likelihood that Button will give me the free card when I'm ahead of him. There is a lot of EV in the free card improve-or-fold approach if you can get the free card. Much more fun than risking money and maybe even getting checkraised out of seeing the turn.
However if Button is going to bet without looking then I might as well bet myself. I'm OK with checkfolding when Button has a hand but I don't want to accept zero EV for this flop by never seeing the turn.
BTW one poster commented favorably on the jack due to it's lowness. That's wrong because it's popular with the preflop call crowd and it leaves room for overcards. Kxx > Qxx > Jxx for fold equity.
