Yes, I agree to you with the bet but for example in this hand I was suggested to check back at low stakes:
[SH] KK on A-high board
As I can see both have its pros & cons and it's important to be able to explain to yourself why you take this or that action.
that case is a littlebit different, since there can be no overcards, but I would usually c-bet especially since there are flushdraw:
- I can get called by draws
- I protect my hand against pp-s who would fold and don´t end up loosing against set (if he should hit 2 outs on the turn)
but most important reason: I would c-bet air 100% and if I check back made hands, then players can start c/r or floating me and 100% c-bet is not profitable any more.
Also it is always hard oop to play if players put pressure against you, rather than give free cards+ if you really check back on Axx, Kxx boards then usually players would not start bluffing.
So only reason to me why I should check back: I know that player is c/r happy and I don´t want to b/f my hand, but rather go to showdown.
best regards,
