bodog 1/2 6 maxkj on the button...guy in cut off raises it in front of me 1 other caller flop comes k4jchecks to cutoff who bets..i smooth call as does the epturn comes a 6...now its checked to me...this is what im questionable on....neither has shown any aggression and they were to rather quick checks to me showing they had nothing...now my question is would it be better to just check also? there are no major scare cards....i ended up betting and both folded like i thought they probably would...i know its picky and i should be satisfied with the pot i took but i just wanted yalls expert opinions

When someone raises pre-flop, fires a continuation bet after the flop that is called by two (or more people), unless they were helped by the turn, they will slow down (at least I do, more often than I should probably!)Looks like a medium pocket pair, maybe ace X (not ace queen as they would probably call). With the two overcards (say they had 8's) and two callers to the flop bet, they are giving up IMO.Be happy with the pots you win. In siutations like those, I don't think you should give the free card, as it may fill up the straight draws, flush draws, the medium pocket pairs (making as set) etc. :wink:

I'm in agreement with Smash on this one. If you were going to play it, you should raise it.Seems like Bodog doesn't have any suits on their site (all your posts fail to menti0n relevant points like that). :wink:

you have to bet here. I don't see any other way to do it. What are you going to gain by checking? I think you are dealing with an over pair and if you check and the board pairs you are down the river. No pun intended. Bet and if he calls check raise the river (unless you think you are beat)

bet. there are some scare cards here, such as Q, T, maybe 9. and fold this preflop. you do NOT want to be cold calling raises with a hand like this.

Suits are always relevant, even though you may not think so. Someone can still make a flush from a rainbow flop. Use the hand histories... :wink:

2 things...first off, the only overpair here would be AA. I seriously seriously seriously doubt the CO is checking AA again on the turn. Second, you can't check/raise from the button, and even if you could, going for a check/raise after you bet the turn and he just called would be retarded.
