Pretty sure you need to bet 2/3+ pot here. So many bad cards can come on river that kill you, plus you get extra value from someone holding Ad or Jd or someone with AK KQ KJ etcetc who wouldn't call when an even scarier river comes.I think for now with it check-check, you can assume you are still ahead, and proceed as so until shown resistance.

What if you do get resistance after you bet though? Then you're sick because it's hard to be ahead at this point, but you still have outs to win the hand. I kind of want to see a showdown with this hand. I'm just thinking out loud at this point, but I can't decide if I'd rather get value from worse hands, or save some bets for when I'm behind here by checking and calling a river bet. (If they bet.)

I find that drinking a lot helps my pool game immensely!

This is what I was thinking. Everything hit. As I'm taking BB to be aggresive when he hits a pair I think he'd raise a K here and flat with his draws, all of which hit. Especially at these limits, people won't lay down a flush draw at gunpoint.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fahrenheithttp://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/1...al-significanceI think it's easier in some senses to think in terms of whole numbers without relying on decimals.
Fahrenheit makes no sense at all. And if I've ever used decimals with regards to Celcius it was in a chemistry lab. Maybe we might use .5 every so often in everyday use, but rarely.

Check behind, worse card in the deck for you.

I see very good merits to checking. Those are good points. The problem I have is just that it seems in micro limits, like 10nl and under, people pay off SO weak that the pros of betting outweigh the cons. EDIT: I also might add that when I first looked, I didn't see that JT got there as well, so shame on me for that. It changes things quite a bit.RE-Edit: I changed my mind. Checking is right. sorry...

Bayblon donks that picture is amazing. your amazing. lets go ski!
I agree on all points. I don't think we've talked, but I think you're amazing too :club:
This makes me wonder, why in the world does the US use Fahrenheit? It's such a retarded measuring-unit, doesn't really make sense to me...measuring Temperature in Kelvin would make more sense than that retardo thing...This somehow has always bugged me...
Agreed
