"You have position? So what? Doesn't give you the right to make dumbass calls"

"The term check/fold was invented for a reason. Learn it!"

In all seriousness, that last point is really important. I'm really bad at check folding when I have a hand with some value. I try to value bet WAAAY too much in spots that really should be c/f's. I need to fix that up asap.

Here are a couple hands that I think are c/f's and Alexos also felt they were c/f's.
