ten handed online 30/60. all folded to me and I raised on the button with A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. Only the BB calls. I only have ~15 hands on him, but he seems slightly loose aggressive.

Flop Q-T-9 with a diamond. He check raises and I call.

Turn 8. He checks, I check.

River J. He bets, I call.

How would you have played it differently?

I would fold to the flop check raise.

how, exactly, is a bad advice to check a flop that totally mised you against a laggy opponent that will probably c/r with any 2 cards just because he can. The follow through bet might be expected, but it isn't obligatory. Especially since hero would love to see a diamond or an Ace on the turn.

Why would you check the flop flawless? Im keeping an open mind, but I would bet here and if im called on this board I would not invest another bet unless I improve.

this flop hit every texas holdem hand, but A7... a free card might be an A or a diam.

This is a very good point flawless, and against 2 opponents I would never bet this flop with no hand. But against one opponent, I still get tempted to bet the flop in case he might hold 22-77 which he might fold, or a small suited connector. But like I said before If my flop bet gets called I am investing no more bets in this hand.

Look at the actual percentage of his hands that you're getting a fold from here. And just take the free card.
