Re: 3/6 Stars KK river fold.
[ QUOTE ]
Because I often check flops where it is possible that a five-card hand is already out. This seems like a good spot to do that. Also, pot control. [/ QUOTE ] A five-card hand being a flopped a flush only?

Straight, flush, full house, duh. [/ QUOTE ] Yes, but I am referring to this flop only. Not any possible 5 card hand. So you're checking behind here because you want pot control and a flush is likely? Please help me understand.

[/ QUOTE ] I threw in the "pot control" comment sarcastically because I am a snarky [censored]. People who advocate this concept often annoy me. I am sorry if this confused you. Sarcasm is difficult to convey on a message board. And obviously a flush is not likely. Since there has been no betting yet, the only information we have to go on is card combinations. There is no reason to suspect that we are against a flush.

[/ QUOTE ] Just a little mild deception in a situation where we have a pretty strong hand, but not a hand so strong that it welcomes a check-raise. I'm also not that worried about giving a free card, but getting a free card could be very valuable. Some more factors but suffice it to say that I definitely check this flop more than half the time. Probably as high as 80% against some opponents.
