hey everyone. i was wondering how you all play your top pair (decent kicker) on the flop in late position. if there's a bet in front of you (like half the pot) do you like to raise to see where you're at? or do you like to just call and see what happens on the turn? thanks.

Yea I like your play better ensign...since i went back to full games ive tightened up a lot and played weaker with anything less than TPTK. maybe jus afraid to play full games the same as shorhanded.
