Re: Saved by Cero
Matt,
obviously checking the flop serves the purpose of keeping that pot nice and small and is great in that way.....only thing against a flop check is you might let him pick off a free gutshot if he's in there with KQs or 87s....but I suppose the times that happens is outweighed by the priorities of your read, the times he has you in bad shape, the times checking makes him frisky, the times he's in there with AQ or AJ and gives you some good action on later streets.....although, I'm sure even if you bet the flop you would've gotten away from it all the same as you ended up doing if he has a set.....and, even if you bet, what's to say he won't call and still pick off a gutshot....in all cases, you're not going broke with TPTK without a great read so it's probably all the same (and keeping the pot small in one way or another is still first priority)....
nice hand....
