I check the flop.

You’re missing value with the sizing on turn and river as played though.

Thanks, Claret. I'm conditioned to bet the flop when I hit so big. I'm still learning the nuances of micro stakes.

Um what? At higher stakes this is almost an auto check to the raiser. What does stakes have to do with checking?

He probably plays live or play money before this I'm guessing. Those are really the only places people would do that instead of checking. Well barring doodoo in the 6max threads who thinks he's playing like Pluribus when actually I'd label him as an aggro whale.
