[Poboy]

Depends (on how much you've been c-betting, on your opp, etc.), but I think either way you probably aren't making much money on this hand. If it were me, a check would be more suspicious than a bet, so I'd bet.

[BrettButter]

I've been very tight. This is the first pot I've willingly entered, aside from trying to limp from the SB then folding to a raise by the BB on the first hand. Trout has played a lot of hands.

The table is a little LAG, like most of the tournaments at this limit.

[Harlequin011]

You've got the deck crippled here.

Not much anyone else can have against you. Get a pot going anyway you can. Be happy if you can get anything out of him.

[jojobinks]

weak lead here, or bet 1/2 the pot on the turn.

don't expect action, though.

against better players (or known sheriffs), i wouldn't be afraid to bet 1/2 the pot now. but against small limit chumps, go obvious.

[Coleman]

If you show aggression preflop, show it on the flop. You might get surprised by the play of your opponent!
No need to push on that flop, of course. If he calls your bet on the flop, a classic "weak" play is to bet the same on the turn. You'll get a lot of checkraises.

You'll get more calls early. There are much better drawing odds on the flop, even for hands as weak as middle pair with a gutshot. Those are the guys you want to string along- the ones drawing dead. They will call!

If you wait until the turn or river to bet out, nobody will have any drawing (dead) odds.

Also: No matter what you flop, it's not the nuts. (OK, straight flushes excepted) Might as well make them pay to draw to that boat!

[BrettButter]

I think it turned out okay. I was expecting a fold on the turn.

Uggh. You flopped the world -- you pretty much have to check it. I'd start pumping the pot on the turn and hope he has 1 club.

[guitarizt]

You have to lead out on that flop. The best you can hope for is that he has top pair and thinks you're drawing the the nut flush. I keep betting 3/4 pot and just call if he reraises me. A club on the turn or river will kill your action.
