Default Bet or check?

Canterbury 30/60 9 handed

BB here is kinda tight. He also told me that he thinks bicyclekick is a dick, which is neither here nor there but i find it hilarious. he asked me if we were friends, i said "yes" and then he proceeds to tell me that BK is a dick. priceless. anyway, I open in MP with QJo. folds to BB who calls.

Flop HU: T63r
check, I bet, he calls.

Turn: 8

he checks, I........

easy check

tight player, which means if he's calling out of the bb and then calling your flop bet he probably has a piece. just check and try to hit one of your 10 outs for free

Check, catch a 9 on the river, and watch him tell BK that you're a dick the next time he sees him. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I vote for check because I think you are behind here. You are either beaten by a flopped pair (probably not top pair though), or are beat by better overcards (A high).

There was no flush draw for opponent to chase, and one of the straight draws just hit too. You may have up to 10 outs, and you really don't want to have to call a checkraise with that hand. I'd say check and raise any river bet if you improve.

If he's kind of tight, he's probably not just peeling the flop with overcards intending to fold to a turn bet. I'd take the free card every time.

good luck.

You have a gutter, overcards and the possibility he will fold. Where's the dilemma? Bet it.
