Hi,
I bet flop to fold out pocket pairs and protect against broadways.
I plan if I get call then I would like to check to showdown if unimproved.
However, I think check/fold Flop is better play because out of position and the broad has some draw. How do you think?
Thanks.

Hi JHTAN,

Preflop: looks fine

Postflop: I think that the turn should be a bet fold or ck/call. Villain can float that flop and we still have the best hand often unless of course he is a nit.

why do you bet the Flop VS 2 players OOP on this Flop?

You bet the flop for value and gain protection as a result.

You get value from worse pairs and floats.

I think we represent strength by betting VS 2 opponents on the Flop. So, I think he will not call or float very often. how do you think?

You are playing 2nl. People are more worried about their cards and the board texture than what you represent by betting into two people.

And if you bet between 1/2-2/3 pot you will definitely get calls from worse.

I would like to play NL10. What adjustment should I make? In my opinion, in NL2, we always bet for value and seldom bluff. Is that almost same for NL10.
Thanks.

At 10nl you can still bet a lot for value.

Betting for value and thin value is the one skill you want to develop as fast as possible while playing these limits.

What will change between 2nl and 10nl is that you will find less players that just stack off with complete garbage but they still call too loose.
