Hello,

I am not sure about the check on the flop.

My idea was that by checking I will show weakness and he could catch his K or Q or start bluffing.
I mean how many times will he have KQ, 78 or QJ ?
Isn't it more likely that he has an overpair or other Kx and Qx hands?

What do you think?

Best regards
Dominik

We don’t know anything of our villain in this hand, but in a 55c tournament I would play straight forward with betting every street with an over pair. I expect you will lose value if you check this on long term against most players.

Cheers,

I'd bet 60/70% pot on all streets for value.
Your better off in the long run betting these strong hands, once you slow play and they make a straight a couple of times, you will see its better betting out.
Slow playing here may win you more but every now and again you will lose a very large pot as you gave them a free card.
Better to play straight forward and pick up lots of smaller pots.
