SB checks

Do you:
A) Bet approx. 1/3 of your stack (350'ish)
B) Build a pot with a minimum bet, hoping to avoid flush draws on the board
C) Push all in

In my mind, I made a mistake both times, but I was fortunate in both scenarios

Results below:

<font color="white">1) Hero calls on the turn, Jd spikes on the river, and Hero checks after villain, fearing the check-raise. Villain shows J9 for straight on the flop, and MHIG

2) Hero pushes all in to hopefully take down the pot and scare off flush draws, hopefully warranting a call from KJ or KT by a weak player. Villain (Button) calls with 9h8h. 9 hits on turn, 5 hits on river, and thankfully MHIG</font>

First hand, I'd call. The river could bring you a lot of good, or he could believe you are not all that serious with such small bets and attempting to steal it. You do NOT push all in. I assure you at this level he will call.

Second hand, a pot sized bet is good. A flush draw calling you is very bad odds for them and do you expect king/5 to have called out of the SB?
