Re: should I have checked this flop?
no, if nobody has a piece of this flop nobody will give you action later in the hand unless they turn a set.

Re: should I have checked this flop?
I think I throw in an overbet here, say $300-$350 representing TPGK trying to push out a draw. Your only hope of making money on this scary board is if someone already has a solid hand anyway. Hope for K8, A8, or the double gutter to be out there and go for it.

Re: should I have checked this flop?
Depending on the stakes you are playing, this is a rare situation where I think I might actually minbet to build the pot a little, hoping to induce a bluff and get someone else with a 4-flush draw or a decent ace to come along. With you limping in, your raise looks like you might be protecting a baby flush, since you could have easily limped some low suited connectors from CO. Also, with a minbet, someone might think you have a weak hand and try to make a move on you with air. So if it was me, I'd probably minbet. I don't think checking is a bad play either.
At least in lower stakes, you can get away with that kind of play. |
