PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $2.00+$0.20 Tournament, 25/50 Blinds (9 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

CO (t465)
Button (t1250)
SB (t7292)
BB (t1530)
UTG (t1860)
UTG+1 (t3200)
MP1 (t1830)
Hero (MP2) (t1600)
MP3 (t1065)

Hero's M: 21.33

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with A, K
3 folds, Hero raises to t200, MP3 calls t200, 2 folds, SB calls t175, 1 fold

Flop: (t650) 10, 4, 7 (3 players)
SB checks, Hero checks.

SB was a very spewy lag. He had been doing weird stuff like opening for 1500 and opening for 600.
MP3 was pretty bad, he hadn't got much going since the start. In a previous hand, he was sitting on a stack of about 600 and had opened 4 x BB on the button with AKs. A station in the blinds had called, donked into him and he'd shoved his AK on a QJ2 board. the station called with Q7 and MP3 had rivered the T.

What do you think of the check?

I guess you could argue the fact that there could be a open ended strt draw and a flush draw lurking and maybe a bet would get them out but the check is ok here I think. If the SB has anything here, he might call anything hoping to bust you out. You just don't have enough chips to push a guy like that around. Great opportunity to trap him later.

no reason to bet here, you're 3 handed and the board isnt as dry as you want it to be for a cbet

Check is good. The only reason to bet here is to represent strength, fold the other two and take the pot right there, and that's probably not happening with the SB (whose raises indicate he probably came straight from the play money tables). A laggy donk like that probably calls all the way to the river with anything from air to top set.

Check's fine. If we decide to bet, I go for ~350. Major problem is that if MP3 shoves, it's going to be pain for us.
