I'm definetly betting the turn after the flop gets checked through

final pot: 1.5 BB

the small size of the pot would lead me to think the pot is not worth fighting for. i'll pick a better battle. depending on the table and blind structure I might not complete.

betting the flop depends mostly on your table image.

if people will know you'll bet this flop with mid. pair and they will raise you with anything i would not bet the flop.

if any one with the Ah will call the way down i bet and hope i get heads up. it really depends on the table.

yep, flop is marginal. i might bet that flop against passive players, so long as my betting the flop and checkingthe turn (unless its something like the 6 icon_suit_spade.gif ) would not induce a raise, as is often the case. that'd be read-dependent.

but don't see any reason to check the turn.

river i'm probably check/calling or bet/folding depending on passiveness and trickiness of players. usually check/calling since im a wuss.

i don't bet the flop, but i do bet the turn.

tim, given that you checked both streets, are you calling a river bet? if so, i think a bet/fold on the river is WAY better given that the game is passive. if you're folding to a river bet (i.e. the game is TIGHT/passive), that's okay.
