A22 hand

[benwood]

Everybody is saying to bet out instead of checking, but I'm not so sure. This hand is vulnerable. If you check it & raise a late position bettor, you can protect the hand more. If it is bet from an early position, I would just call & await developments. If it checks around, I would wish I had bet, of course, but if a non low card comes on the turn, I can bet & lose some people because the pot has stayed small & they only have 1 more card to draw to. If a wheel card comes I would check again & decide whether to raise, call or fold depending on the action.
