Default Re: leakcheck hand

Wow, guys. The flop raise is absolutely automatic. The pot is big, and we need to maximize our chances of winning it.

On the turn...there is more room for debate, but I still feel that this is a clear bet. The pot is big, there's only one opponent, and villain will fold some better hands, and if we get called, no biggie, we have a bunch of outs.

Also, betting makes it really unlikely that we'll lose the pot to QJ or J8. Both of these hands are in our opponent's range. If we check the turn, our opponent will bluff the river with those hands, and we will probably fold. But by leading out on the turn, we continue to represent strength, and many times our opponent will just call and check the river, giving us some extra wins when king-high is the best hand.

Will
