Default Checkin\' a draw

I put in one of my patented miniraises from 3 off the button with T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. Only the small blind calls.

Flop K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

Check check.

Turn 2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Check check.

River Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Bet some money, fold.

The point is that I am willing to give up my chance to steal it on the flop in order to have a disguised hand if I hit.

Smart or dumb?

There is nothing disguised about a twotone flop, the flush card hitting and action ensuing. Nothing.

I would just like to add that from your posts it sounds like you (OP) are bad at poker. Consider improving.

yah cool no one will put you on a huge hand until you raise a crapload to compensate for the fact that the pot does not exist. then they will fold.

Good call. You would think that since it's a goddam message board I would take the time to think things through before posting. I don't.

lol.

This is why you bet the flop (combined w/ the fact that you have freaking T hi, and there is $40 in the pot, everything adds up).

I can't tell what it is you're trying to say here. You didn't make that very clear. But if you are implying that checking the flop and turn is correct then you are wrong.
