I learned something from this hand, or actually, strengthened my belief if I'm on the botton or SB, I never, NEVER want to see BB check to see the flop.

I had just gotten moved to this table a couple of hands before so had no read on anyone.

After the flop, I had put the villan on K-Rag, because A-K probably would have seen a raise preflop, and depending on his experience, maybe even a big bet to lead after the flop.

I was more worried about a Flush after the turn, but obviously the River took care of that.

My main question is when in SB, on not much good, do you normally allow the BB to check and see a free flop?

Not quite sure how to insert a video from BOOM, so if anyone knows the tags, let me know please.

In the video, someone calls ahead so raising in the bigblind is not advisable since I believe he has a decent hand.

With regards to your question, it depends. If the pot is good enough to steal, then bet on the smallblind.
If you want to see the flop, then calling is good since the BB will often check as well.

Well the hand has less to do with his preflop actions and more to do with his terrible postflop skills. I'm not sure what he thinks you could have had; the flush gets there on the turn and weak Kx hands aren't folding. The river bet/call is even worse, as he's no longer getting value from any worse hand and can never call a raise (but he does call :eek: ).

Nice hand.
