** Dealing the turn:

Opponent is a loose calling station (VP$IP 40, W$SD 50). He has $18 and the pot is $14 what is your plan?

Well, I definately wouldn't value bet here. Check and see what happens. A loose calling station could easily hold a hand like [3h] (or any two hearts, for that matter). If he has $18 left in a $14 pot, he's not going anywhere. Try for a cheap showdown.

This is a typical situation where a lot of players lose a lot of money. Brunson wrote it so well: "The fact is, with a pair of aces or kings... one of two things will usually happen. Either: 1) you'll win a small pot; or 2) you'll lose a big pot."

How did the hand unfold?

I checked, he bet $10 which I figured was basically an all in that wanted a call so I folded.

At the time I thought it was a little weak tight so I wanted to know what you guys though.
