A Rush Poker hand, so no reads or HUD stats on neither of opponents. Are you cbetting in this spot and could you please elaborate why?

i check this flop most of the time. you have outs to (possibly) the best hand, but when you get there how will you be sure you can bet later streets for value (especially readless in RUSH)? Keep the pot small imo

More simply, you can't stand much heat but you still have some decent equity, that you wouldn't like folding if you were raised or c/r.

You still have the CO behind so i dont mind a check here.

I find people are loving the check raise on paired boards, or is that just me?

I'd definitely bet here. Your hand is not good enough to chk-call and it's way too strong to chk-fold. There is really no other option IMO.

whitelime: I'd like to understand your thought process a bit better. If you bet this flop I assume you fold to a raise, correct? If you get flatted in 1 or 2 spots, what's your default turn action if a low heart comes off? What about an offsuit 9? A King offsuit?

I feel really lost a lot of the time on the turn in these spots when I have a so-so non nut hand

I'd bet a 9 and K and check a heart.

I'd bet a 9 and K and check a heart.

So bet/fold a 9 or K and check/call a heart I'd imagine?

Thanks for the response.

Dang, thought we were HU vs the SB...
