Information is worthless here, because all it does is make your decision harder, and lose you chips. Unless you can very surely fold or 3-bet to a flop raise, which would be dumb, IMHO, there's absolutely no reason to bet.

A check = chips, because Villain is going to be contuination betting all those hands that missed, and you're just going to let him hang himself.

With a bet, your opponent gets chips from better hands, can make you laydown on the turn, and is spewing chips in every sense of the word.

I read both your first post and your edit, the edits better. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

So your saying I should be calling him all the way down? The reason I don't like that is becucase, like I said I would have no information. And by the river, I'd be all-in anyway. Here, I happily folded.

I think this might be more of a style situation here, no?

If you want to not lose your chips here, and gain some, there are certainly better ways to go about it.

Betting out on that flop into the PFR just sucks. It sucks a lot. It's really, really bad.

What you can do is check-call flop and bet turn. If you get raised, you're done with it. If you get called on the turn, you can check-fold river, maybe call a few weak bets. If you get a check behind on the flop, you can safely get to the river, maybe collecting a few bets along the way.

I think that line is far better than your lead out on the flop, which pretty much lets your opponent do anything he wants with a weaker hand or a better one.

My lines are better. Check the flop.

regardless of how u found yourself in that situation on the turn. Once your there you gotta fold there. You have to respect the preflop raise, flop raise and turn bet.
