The stab post flop isn't the worst play with having a piece of the board but when he calls postflop
I am just check folding every street. A ten is easily in his range here and with the pot so small and
the blinds so low it just isn't worth fighting over.


you arent really going to get much value from worse by stabbing flop with your hand.

you will get a lot more value from c/c flop , re-evaluate turn. your hand is not strong enough to bet flop for value so you are basically bluffing here with a hand that can very easily get to a cheap showdown by playing passively and be the winner
