Checks. He's a calling station, he's going to call a bet.

Looks more like he hit his flush and is looking to induce a bluff. Well at least that's what most LAGs seem to do when they bet the flop and check the turn.

Bets 350 and essentially puts him to a decision for all of his chips. If you get raised you are getting odds to call with the nutflush draw and an inside straight draw and 2 over cards

Take that free card.

[pockets]

Check.

[Rocketwadster]

I hate playing passively with position, but you hvae nothing as of yet, so I would opt to take the free card 9 times out of 10. :wink:

[Scott3705]

Check.

Free card! Nut draw!River that heart and let his teeny flush drown. Or river nothing and surrender your A-high to the all-in.

So you are telling him to commit himself to a pot, in which if raised he realistically might be up against a flush? As apposed to taking the free card and seeing what happens on the river? I'm saying that you check here, because he is a call station AND he might have the flush.

push it in, you have tons of outs. J/k check it and suck out like a champ on that chump

[dms26]

Free card please, thank you.

[DCWildcat]

Check.Edit: I can't read.

CheckThis smells like a trap

If you bet around 400 into his stack of 850 you are putting him to a decision for all of his chips (basically), you put the decision on him right there and dont let the river dictate how you play and possibly fold the best hand on the river. This guy could have anything because he is a calling station if he does call or raise you all in its an easy call and you still have a bunch of outs against the large array of hands that he could be playing. Checking for the free card and letting a calling station see 7 cards for just the calling stations original bet and possible weak steal attempt on the flop is weak poker. I dont care if im the only person that thinks betting close to half of this guys stack is a bad play, it makes him make the tough decisions and seeing as you believe he is the worse player then it works out great for you. The more decisions he makes the more mistakes he makes.

[quote name='Absolute]Preflop: BigDaddyKane is Button with [Jd]' date=' [Ah']. UTG calls t30, 4 folds, UTG calls t50.Flop: (t205) [4c], [8h], [7h] (2 players)UTG bets t120Not that I'm saying its wrong or not, but is it correct to just call here on the flop with just two overcards? Is it wise to be drawing to just top pair here, when that might not even win the hand? There's a flush and straigh draw out there and the Jh might not even be a clean out. The guy didnt raise preflop so I'm assuming he wouldnt have AK/AQ, but you know the player better than I do.You're the chip leader at the table and raised before the flop. Wouldn't this flop be a situation where would you would either raise to put him at a decision for all his chips or fold to wait for a better spot?
