Here's a hand I played last night.

200NL, stacks are $185.

1 fold, MP limps, CO folds, TAG Button limps, SB completes I check A5o in the BB. Flop: AK7. SB checks, I lead for $5.50 into the $7.50 pot. Button is only caller. Sometimes I check /call here but w/e.

Turn is the 5 and I bet out again for $14 into the $18 pot. He flat calls again.value ldo

River is A. I check because he is likely to flat call with an ace if I bet but I believe he is very likely to bet for value if I check to him. I want to play a huge pot. Anyways I check, he bets $24 and I raise AI.

Maybe this is just horrible but I think this demonstrates some of the concepts here.
