Pre-flop: (10 players) Hero is SB with 10h.gif qd.gif
3 folds, MP1 calls, 2 folds, CO calls, Button folds, Hero calls, BB checks.

Flop: kc.gif 10d.gif 4h.gif (4SB, 4 players)
Hero checks, BB checks, MP1 checks, CO bets, Hero raises, 2 folds, CO calls.

Turn: qc.gif (4BB, 2 players)
Hero bets, CO calls.

River: kd.gif (6BB, 2 players)
Hero checks, CO checks.

No reads, sorry. I just felt that CO made a standard bet to steal the pot.

Looks good to me. River card sucks. Does anyone think it's worth a bet?

THE POT IS NOT BIG!

The raise raise raise strategy is not optimal here. Just call the flop.

And bet/fold the river.

but incase no one has a king, wouldn't i want someone to let go of AQ, pocket J's, AJ, n such?

That was what I was thinking.

Say you just call the flop and the turn gives you the two pair. Then do you prefer to lead out or c/r the turn, Screech?

Well yeah, if you are ahead. The problem is you may be behind so folding those hands does nothign for you. Also, it's not too often anyone will have these hands since there was no raise pf.

I would usually go for the check/raise. It depends how passive/aggressive my opponent is.

flop c/r blows.
river check stinks.
Syous
really? You would bet the river?
