What should be my general line here, bet out or check-raise. So far I have prefered to check-raise, basically cause I believe people will bet with more hands that I beat than call. Someone on the boards (don't remember who) disagreed with me though.

Check call is my vote. Not a very dangerous flop here. The only way youre probably going to lose it if opponent already has you beat.

i tend to lead at the pot from OOP because most people would expect you to check-raise.

if i were in LP and it was checked to me, i would lead at the pot to see of anyone wanted to check-raise me [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Yes, but in the case your check-raise is called, I'd say the issue is no longer to extract, since you are most likely beat. Basically, this hand should not win any big pots anyway.

wahhhhh? even in 200NL someone with an 8 here is going to call you down unless you get crazy.

Time to move up to the 200's I guess.

I like to lead at the pot with a half pot bet, make the impression you have a good 8 and are testing the waters. I don't see myself getting away from this hand unless its for my entire stack or a fairly good portion.

I think if you play this hand too meekly, you aren't making the dollars you should.

[kongo_totte]

What hands give alot of action on this board that I beat?

[NYCNative]

You could also be against 66. I would check-call this one then lead the turn and see what happens.

Bet, check/call, bet.
