WhyYouKickMyDog   United States. Feb 16 2006 15:13. Posts 1623 check is fine. even with how ridiculously scary that board is for a guy with just a pair of kings, he still called. you can answer these questions yourself by thinking it through. ill try and teach you a tiny bit by going through the thought process of why the check is fine. What is the purpose of a bet here? Do you think they will fold? Are you just trying to mask your draw if it hits? Well, obviously they arent going to fold. they are fish with top pair! they never fold top pair. Do you need to mask your draw? nope! they will still call bets even if it hits! So theres absolutely no advantages to you betting at the turn. Also, they might be planning a checkraise with their set of 10s. Check is the right play.
