the pot's pretty small, so the question becomes whether or not giving a 2 outer a free card is compensated for by the other factors I mentioned

what if all those hands checkraise and I'm forced to fold?

Recognize that most "air" hands on this flop like jacks. They either have one or it creates some sort of straight draw.

This is an uncomfortable situation. I bet to apply pressure to all the eights, jacks, pocket pairs, and straight draws. If he had an ace maybe he would have done something by now?

Scenario 1:

I still think checking is the best solution. I dont think there is any VALUE to betting here. You bet, he folds, you win. Number of bets won/lost after the flop? 0

You bet he raises, and you fold. Number of bets won/lost? -1

You check, he bets a blank river, you call and your J is good (As you might suspect). Number of bets won/lost? +1

The other viable strategy here is to bet, and if you get raised by someone you think is BS'ing you, 3-bet them. Versus the right player, this will garner 2 bets with no showdown.

I would bet the turn unless you expect to get semibluff-raised or bluff raised pretty frequently. In the games I play, most guys will call down with any pair here. He also could have peeled the flop with 56 or 67 (or a flush draw in example 2).

If he calls the turn, I would also bet the river and fold to a raise. I think you miss too much value by checking the turn.

If it's a very aggro guy who is capable of raising as a bluff or semibluff, go ahead and check it. Or if it's a guy who will only call the flop with an ace.

Otherwise, bet it dawg.

You're telling me the 15/30 on party is a game where players will never call this turn bet with an 8, 4, straight draw, or other pocket pair?

I heavily favor a bet on both turns. We have to remember that we are in a blind steal situation and players are very likely to call down with any piece, not just an Ace. I bet the turn for value and against most players I am more than comfortable with fold to a c/r.

Also I think he c/r a FD and c/r the A more often than he check/calls and waits to pop the turn. This looks like he has a piece and is calling down or maybe has a pp and is hoping to "hit"

I must say Chief I was suprised when I saw you favored checking, and in your scenarios you left out you bet/he calls. You still win one bet here after the flop, but you make people pay to see the river no matter how weak thier draws are. Also, there is a chance you can pick up the pot on the turn.

If raised you could easily fold.

I favor betting here
