    Does anyone like checking #2 behind? Pot odds were fine on turn but one of the tainted outs came. The $2 is suspicious enough to indicate a boat already.

    Hand one I reraise to $15 and fold to a push. A shortish stack ($30 or less) I put all in preflop

    Hand 2 I think a check behind is best.

    Hand three looks like a set or a bluff. I don't know about this. Two pair hands are killing me.......

    Your place or my place
    1) I make it $15 or $20, or shove.
    2) Nah I dont check that through. Thats missing value, and doesnt let you buy a free card (which he didnt give you). I raise his pathetic blockbet to about $10 and fold to a push. I Definitely bet da riva.
    3) Fold, then fold again. He's got the frush.

    Hand 1: is this a type of guy who defends his blind? i personally just call.

    Hand 2: I value bet small. I'm sorry, but a $2 turn bet followed by a river check isn't something i'm very worried about.

    Hand 3: got to fold.

    Sometimes called from the blind. Folded if I bet, the times I checked he bet the turn, he occasionally donk bet a raggy flop, I usually gave up. Until now we had been dancing around each other.

    So to answer your question, kind of.

    Hand 2: I bet about 1/2-2/3 the pot here and if he reraises me I let it go. Most people arent that tricky and if he cant beat the flush he cant beat the straight.
