Oh man Tommy. You should stick to the story telling and stay away from the math. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

You could have proven your case in about one line many different ways. Your way is torture. Here are a few:

- if I bet the flop, I win the pot. if I check, I win the pot + 1 BB. Checking is better.


ok, so you want to analyze the situation where he will call with a turned pair and check-check the river? here you go:

I'm betting the pot + 2BB vs his 1BB that he will not pair on the turn. Since I'm laying less than 5:1 and he is like 8:1 against AND I can still catch an ace, checking the flop is best.



By the way, nice hand.
