    Default Maximizing value, I always freeze when this happens...

    CO is a 17/15 Tag that doesn't seem to like to fold. UTG is a 38/0 calling station. I didn't want to blow the fish out on the flop, and he hadn't folded a flop yet so I decided to call the flop.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $2 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    MP ($124.50)
    CO ($289.65)
    Hero ($468.45)
    SB ($332.30)
    BB ($49.95)
    UTG ($123.70)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with 8, 6.
    UTG calls $2, 1 fold, CO raises to $8, Hero calls $8, 2 folds, UTG calls $6.

    Flop: ($27) T, 9, 9 (3 players)
    UTG checks, CO bets $18, Hero calls $18, UTG folds.

    Turn: ($63) 7 (2 players)
    CO checks, Hero ???

    If you are betting how much? If you are checking why?

    Theres no way you can check it if he "doesnt like to fold". Stick $40 in and hope he raises.

    Funny thing, I froze then tried to quickly check as to not alert him to anything, river was the Ad.



    He open shoved the river.


    After I thought about what a donkey I was not betting this turn.
