Raise preflop / flop Check ?
Party Poker 15/30 Hold'em
Typical Party 15/30, the blinds are the loosest/fishy players at the table. Preflop: Hero is UTG with T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, MP calls, Button calls, SB calls, BB calls. Flop: (10 SB) A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(5 players)</font> SB checks, BB checks, Hero checks, MP checks, Button checks. Turn: (5 BB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(5 players)</font> SB checks, <font color="CC3333">BB bets</font>, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, MP folds, Button folds, SB folds, BB calls. The rest of the hand played itself, so not important. What do you think of the flop check and turn raise? Standard?

Re: Raise preflop / flop Check ?
With 4 opponents and me in middle position it seemed like there was a decent chance I was behind. A bet won't get a better hand to fold (Ax), but a check might get a worse hand to bet. Depending on the number of players that call/fold I could proceed accordingly.

Re: Raise preflop / flop Check ?
A check also lets hands like KQ/KJ/QJ draw out on you for free when they would have likely folded the flop.
Bet the flop. Fold if raised. Bet the turn if checked to. Fold if raised. If you had KK, or even QQ, a flop check wouldn't be bad.

Re: Raise preflop / flop Check ?
Provided that all the players checked to you, I would have bet the flop and determine the course of action from there.
Having checked the flop gives too free cards and chances for other players to catch up.

Re: Raise preflop / flop Check ?
Betting is so much better than checking when nobody has an ace that you absolutely have to do it.
