Hero?

[psyduck]

invites a bluff?

In fact basically everyone is going to say check so I'll move on.

Hero bets $600, Villain raises to $1700, Hero?

[Rococo]

This one feels a lot different than the hand that you posted earlier. I think that you are going to see the nuts, or close to it, pretty often here.

If Villain made this play with a set of 2s, he is either an evil genius or a total donkey. Unless you think that he is one or the other, I vote for a fold.

[DonButtons]

I call...

Im guessing he would raise the turn with 10 9 and a flush? It just seems like a missed flush draw more than 10 9 or a flush.

I bet more and probably feel sick, but call a raise. Underbetting like this, I call quickly. I will often go for a turn checkraise.

I think a lot of people in these games are getting pretty wise to turn check-raises, and the vast majority will check behind mediocre holdings. Obviously if I'd known he had KK i would have checked.

Thanks for all the comments.

Because he is obviously going to bet it on the turn and call a raise.

If you knew he had KK, not checking the turn would not have been your biggest mistake.
