A few spots that look simple - are they?

I"m in favour of an overbet here to feign a bit of weakness.  Suspect he"s tied to  Kc Qh /  Ac Kh type hands.

just keep betting, 2/3 pot will do

As I"m forever the pessimist I"ll say and you"re up against a flopped set.. and the rivers going to pair the board...

My thoughts also - I"m definitely betting closer to pot than half pot.

Villain is either going to continue, or he isn"t - 60% to 80% pot is not suddenly going to change the range of hands he"ll continue with, so go for as much value as you dare.

In earlier news. Fold pre. Yes people will min-raise open light in Rush/Zoom. But I"ll still give credit to an UTG raise.

Check-call the flop, check-raising is horrible imo - throwing away all your implied odds. The only upside is you"re stopping him firing a second barrel with JJ or worse, if someone is doing that at 5c/10c then good for them - I"d rather call and spike (that"s if I"ve not folded pre)

WYoung83:
I dont think check raising is horrible (but then you have to be prepared to play for stacks, because folding after u have CR is not great) I actually prefer check raising, rather than check calling, then check folding brick turns.

AAroddersAA:
Excellent responses guys.

I actually led the turn for $2 and he folded. I think I should have folded pre though. However I played the whole hand badly but discussing hands where you know you have made errors in very useful imo.
