Check/call? Might be a flush draw or hit his str8.

Anyone like a $5 blocking bet here? Since this is a 25NL game against an obviously poor player we can pick our bet size. If he has the straight I would expect a min-raise, which I would probably call.

Although he may check behind with 2 pair. I think I like c/c because betting only gets value from Kx and some protection from a disgustingly large bet. If I was on baby tilt (dead card run) I would probably call up to $10 which is probably bad. Thinking clearly I would fold to more than $7.50.

I don't like check-calling against calling stations because they're usually happy to check behind missed draws and weak one pair hands that would have paid off a river bet. Both bet-fold and check-fold are better than check-call against this opponent, IMO.

Dude is rolling with QT. I keep betting until he raises me. I'd make it $7 on the river.

bet $10. You get value for the 70% of times he doesnt have you beaten here and thinks K6s is goot.

To title: As opposed to a calling station who folds a lot?

Bet half the pot. Villain is playing weak thus far.
