Showdown Bound?

But it gets a free card often at least

Bruiser,

I fold the river.

However, I take the free card on the flop. With pretty heavy preflop action I think you get checkraised enough on the flop to make a check the best plan. Betting may or may not buy you a free card as either opponent may bet the turn. Plus, there is a chance that you check the flop and they check to you again on the turn for 2 free cards. I'm always very skeptical of a preflop 3-bettor that doesn't follow thru on the flop HU or 3-way. It smells of monster way too often.

I think the play is fine, although at a lower limit I may call just to see what BB cold calls with. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I really can't see what BB has here. Maybe A8? I guess he puts you on a stone cold bluff if he's calling with a dry ace.
