something to think about if you play the $55s+

[Paul Thomson]

I only check behind when I have a hand that is mediocre but not vulnerable. For example, say I call a raise preflop on the button with AJ and two callers ahead. And the flop come Axxx. I will check behind on the turn because my hand isn't vulnerable to over-cards, yet at the same time could very well be behind.

On the other hand, if the flop comes Jxx, I'm going to bet again on the Turn because my hand is more vulnerable.
