Easy bet. I'm not sure what the question is???

Edit: I didn't see the limp-reraise preflop. This makes checking a decent plan. You will often induce a bluff on the river if he was limp-reraising with garbage and save yourself the agony of folding or calling down if he checkraises KK/AA.

Ha. Pretty far from simple me thinks. Not having a read is very troublesome here. The fact that this guy is limp reraising already spells tricky to me. I know I often take the conservative route (and get flamed for it) but i think you need to check. if he has the big hand he represented preflop (which i doubt) he is coming with the checkraise. He may have just outdrawn you on the turn as well. You will have to call the CR and could be dominated. I think getting to showdown cheap is best as free cards should not be much of a problem.

Bet the river if it blanks and he checks agian unless it is NLSoldier going for his whatever ya call double check and raise the river crap.

See, even as I type my response the consensus goes the other way. Looks like time for a break.

these thoughts went thru my head during hand, which is why i posted.

after reading the hand while i typed it, betting seems obvious to me and i wasnt even gonna post. but i dont participate enough, so i went ahead and posted.

This forum is full of bet, bet, bet advice. Hard to see straight sometimes when in the middle of a downswing and you have been checkraised like every time here for a month by a guy showing down the winner. Maybe some more people find a check here so I will not be the only weak tight pussy on the forum.

This seems like an easy check to me. We're better off raising the river if we want two bets instead of one here.

Maybe consider a flop call.

i agree with surfdoc.
and also, by checking you will most likely get to see his hand. that must be worth something.

Count me into the weak-tight group. You could easily be beat here by the preflop-check/reraiser (AA,KK,QQ,AK all seem very possible without a read). And I would hate to fold to a checkraise on this turn. Also HU giving a free card is not THAT bad - additionally if you are already beat you are the one getting that free card.
I check.
