Re: Flopped top and bottom pair on co-ordinated board, deepish stacks
[ QUOTE ]
SB checks, I think about leading, then figure I'd rather watch the action in front of me and make a decision when it gets back to me, as if I lead and get called life will suck OOP as many cards scare me on the turn and not many that help.

Limper bets 5 BBs, MP (100BB's) calls all fold to me, and I raise to 20BB's.

with 100bb stacks.
This is a contradiction, now instead of leading and getting calls, you cr and got called, and are looking at a much more unwieldy spot with a lot in the pot and people committed to it.
I like to check-call these types of flops deep and then play the turn. It's deceptive and IMO you are not going to want to be backing up your entire stack on the flop a majority of the time. Best case scenario some donk is overplaying an overpair, but most of the time if u make a huge pot on the flop u lose.
There's also something therapeutic about check calling a flop like this, seeing the worst possible turn card, and then check folding.
