    Default Top pair plus gutshot on scary board ($27)

    Simple flop question, what's your move here? SB's stats are 52/15, Button's are 33/13.

    Poker Stars No Limit Holdem Tournament
    Blinds: t50/t100
    5 players
    Converter

    Stack sizes:
    UTG: t3525
    CO: t1935
    Button: t3295
    SB: t3470
    Hero: t1275

    Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is BB with K 9
    2 folds, Button calls t100 (pot was t150), SB calls t50 (pot was t250), Hero checks.

    Flop: K J T (t300, 3 players)
    SB checks, Hero ????

    Unless I really improve, I am check folding every street here. This board totally sucks for your hand.

    Check/fold the flop, bet a non scary turn if we get there for free.

    yeah it's too dangerous.. check and fold unless you make a straight IMO..

    I could see betting a non scary card on the turn as you are more likely to get a call from a second or third best hand who thinks you are stabbing at the pot with air.

    checking flop and betting turn if its a blank. Otherwise Im checking all the way down...One trend I have noticed is weaker button play. Either limping or minraising with a strong hand when folded to seems to be a more and more consistant thing.
