    Default Check or bet? And what about sizing?

    First hand @ table

    $0.25/$0.5 No Limit Holdem
    6 players
    Converted at weaktight.com

    Stacks:
    UTG sandbanken ($41.93)
    UTG+1 Kenzoo ($46.49)
    CO IBustedYou ($70.13)
    BTN 100479 ($23.35)
    SB doss ($109.16)
    BB Hero ($50.00)

    Pre-flop: ($0.75, 6 players) Hero is BB
    3 folds, 100479 calls $0.50, doss calls $0.25, Hero raises to $2.40, 100479 folds, doss calls $1.90

    Flop: ($5.80, 2 players)
    doss checks, Hero bets $4, doss calls $4

    Turn: ($13.80, 2 players)
    doss checks, Hero ($43.60)?

    why would you do anything but bet here, $10 is fine.
    "This sure beats Super Mario Bros.!" is my ejaculation catch phrase.

    Please always bet in this spot.

    Yeah vs. unknown I'd always bet 10 looks good.

    Vs. regulars its always a bet obv. as they know you barrelling overs so they look you up lighter & balance but there is an argument that against weak players you should just barrel K/A as a bluff and check behind in this spot and Bet river. (The A/K is like the death card for them just like regulars seem to get overly scared when the third flush card hits on the turn.)
    Currently thinking of a new quote/signature... Some sort of prayer to the Poker gods for enlightment etc..
