Gregory Lynn said...: I agree. Betting the flop tells him you're not particularly concerned about the ace while a check says you're very concerned. Also if you do the betting, you can set your price while checking lets him set it. You'd have had to call $15 to get the same information you'd get if you led out for $8.; 2 July 2007 at 20:15
