PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $4 BB (4 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx
Hero ($394)
SB ($452.25)
BB ($485.50)
UTG ($178)
Preflop: Hero is Button with T  , K .
1 fold, Hero raises to $16, SB calls $14, BB calls $12.
Flop: ($48) T  , Q  , 7 (3 players)
SB checks, BB checks, Hero checks.
Turn: ($48) 5 (3 players)
SB checks, BB checks, Hero bets $32, SB calls $32, BB folds.
River: ($112) 6 (2 players)
SB bets $56, Hero calls $56.
Final Pot: $224
Results in white below:
SB has Jc Ad (high card, ace).
Hero has Td Kd (one pair, tens).
Outcome: Hero wins $224.
I dont understand the check on the flop.. can you explain your reasoning behind that line?
There isn't really any deep reasoning behind checking the flop. Not many worse hands call on the flop, so instead of betting when I don't even really want to get called, I just decide to check. I also might get a loose call on the turn from a pocket pair or similar hand if I represent something like a whiffed A-K.
I think continuation betting every time is fairly easy to exploit, so sometimes I like to check behind with hands that have showdown value.
