BB ?
=====================
Blind versus blind, I raised preflop for value with A high. Flop IMO is better for my range, when SB checks, I bet with A high and a gut shot, back door Hearts are not in my thinking process here as the 5 is relatively low, SB calls.
Turn card gives me a pair of 5 now. SB checks, I decide to check behind for pot control. I need to be able to check back here sometimes with stronger hands (AQ, KQ, QQ, AA, KK, A4) even strong draws. Yes, I may be giving flush draws a chance to hit, but I could face a check raise here, and would have to fold, or I am way ahead or way behind. No reason to bet as I now have show down value.
River looks like a complete brick. SB checks to me, do I bet for value? How much? What hand can call me here?
I will post what I did and why tomorrow...
