And what hands do you think fold if you bet this flop, and why do we necessarily want worse hands to fold? Say villian has 88. Obviously he will fold if you bet, but why not check and give him a chance to bluff? Basically the reason for checking is that this is a classic wa/wb scenario where in general checking the flop maximizes EV against worse hands and minimizes losses against better hands.
yeah this is what i was thinking....go me.
