Message: [QUOTE="primrose, post: 7175426, member: 1036998"] As a general rule, you should check when the flush hits. You can bet against very weak players with the intention of always folding to a raise (very bad against players who are capable of bluffing). That said it's generally not a huge mistake to bet. In chess terminology I'd call it an inaccuracy. One nice thing is that so many weak players check when they hit their hand, which means that players can't just mindlessly barrel if you check to them. So the general player tendency protects your range. River is a fold against most players. I suppose you could make a block bet, not a play I ever use but actually it does make sense here. He's less likely to raise a block bet than to bluff if you check. Bet check folding is fine. Flop sizing is ok, but please include the pot sizes in the future. Don't make us calculate! [/QUOTE]
