    Default checking down a vulnerable hand?

    What's the deal here? Am I entitled to bet this one?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (8 handed)

    UTG+1 (t1460)
    MP1 (t1320)
    MP2 (t70)
    CO (t1500)
    Button (t3340)
    SB (t2750)
    Staresy (t1500)
    UTG (t1560)

    Preflop: Staresy is BB with T, T.
    UTG calls t30, UTG+1 calls t30, 1 fold, MP2 raises to t70, 3 folds, Staresy calls t40, UTG calls t40, UTG+1 calls t40.

    Flop: (t295) 8, 8, 2 (4 players)
    Staresy checks, UTG checks, UTG+1 checks.

    Turn: (t295) 4 (4 players)
    Staresy checks, UTG checks, UTG+1 checks.

    River: (t295) 7 (4 players)
    Staresy checks, UTG checks, UTG+1 checks.

    Final Pot: t295

    I think I bet the turn here, altho I think the converter messed up somehwere and its only showing 3 people per street.

    Either way, its obvious that the turn card didnt help anyone and being the first person gives u some leverage.

    yeah, MP2 was all-in for nothing (70). Don't know why that doesn't show up on converter.

    I really wanted to bet it.

    btw Vincent, when are you starting your stars SnG quest?

    Actaully I might not do it. It depends on a few things, and im busy with school right now so I have other things to wrory about.

    Checking the flop is terrible, and checking the turn is even worse. There are still eight players left, what difference does it make if MP2 gets eliminated on this hand?
