valuebet there and pray Ahi calls you. no one is left to bluff. you have the best hand unless something crappy like Q7s is there....and that probably would have led.
LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!

This may seem fishy and ultra-passive, but I checked behind. I see these situations occasionally, and two factors militate towards a check behind:

1. We are only talking about winning one more BB.
2. There's a huge problem here of better hands calling and worse hands folding.

I am not sure my approach is +EV, though.

KoRnholio will become famous soon enough
No one should have a ten, all I am worried about is someone with 97+ looking us up. I think worse pairs will call though, perhaps even ace high. From their perspective after checking behind twice then firing on a 7, we shouldn't have anything either.
Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.
