Weak check-behind?

    Default Weak check-behind?

    Only reasons I can justify it...raised and reraised pot, and slightly scared money, plus bein buzzed...how bad is it?

    QQ/JJ would normally lead out here, so I'm not terribly worried about it, but other set hands might wait until the river to get tricky...

    Villain is 23/9 ... I was running 20/15 after several good hands and quality showdowns during a short span.

    Raise to ½ - 2/3 pot... You're ahead...

    I bet more on the flop + turn, particularly if I'm only betting 2 streets on hands like this.

    Good points...and thanks for the confirmation.

    Villain shows A:heart Q

    ...so I made some pretty nasty mistakes on this one, and then lost a lot of value on the end to boot...no excuses - I just flat F'd this one up!
