In these spots, I personally like checking -- often it's checked around, and then I can pretty confidently bet the turn knowing I'm probably ahead. If the flop is bet by someone else, I'd have to make a judgement based on who did the betting, but the pot is so small I can't imagine it would be a huge mistake to fold in most circumstances.

This is my line typically as well, but I feel the pot is a little too shorthanded to check-fold an ace. I still like checking to watch the action first, but I am more inclined to call or raise a bet than fold when I only have 2 opponents.

Good point about the number of opponents. It's a balancing act between number of players, size of the pot, and strength of the hand. I'm not sure to what degree each of those needs to be factored in.

This hand is completely different because there is no raise preflop. Also, Josh's opponents are loose passive so I really think you need to bet this flop. I'm torn between Bet/Fold or Check/Fold the turn. I really think UTG's postflop numbers are so low that you can save a bet here with a check/fold. It's pretty close though I don't mind either line. If he just called the turn are you bet/folding the river on a blank?

Do you like the stop and go?

No. Your very passive opponent raised your bet on a raggy, uncoordinated board. You are probably drawing to 3 or 0 outs. I like the flop bet a lot, but once this guy raises you, I'll check-fold the turn.
