Default Hands like this are why I\'m not approaching 1 skrillion BB/100

SB limps, an 89/5/not particularly passive or aggressive, just shitty. Only have 55 hands on villain.
Flop 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Turn 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

River 10[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Of course it's checked down because I'm a pussy. What opponent are you betting into, and on what street? These are micro-sized pots, but it feels like I'm missing out on value.

I have K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Well, I guess it really depends on what your hole cards are...

I assume you're saying the SB open-completed and you have no hand and no draw...

Your read did not indicate that.

Against an average/crappy, non-tricky player that completes in the SB and then checks the flop you should be betting a lot of the time. This is one of the ways that position is profitable. This seems pretty obvious to me.

Also, you're not betting "into" him. Which is sort of the whole point.

no, you're definitely right about a bet. it's a value bet. and bet the turn too. and raise preflop.

It's also a bet I would make frequently with any 2 cards. Which is how this was originally posted.

raise preflop.

you have K high vs a random hand with position. basically a monster.

That was my other question, is the pfr standard? I've been pretty tight in the BB HU, and I think it's been a preflop type leak.
