I check the turn because if he has a 2 and is slowplaying me then I don't lose much and keep the pot small. If he doesn't have a 2 he might fold on the turn but might bluff on the river to my check. So the plan is if he bets river I call and if checks river then I bet and he might call with a middle pair since I stopped after the K showed up.I use this kind of lime many times in these kind of top pair hand situations. Am I missing out on value when I play like this or do you think this is fine?
