Completing costs only 320, and Gemini has checked previous limps and played passively afterward. With 9-7 offsuit, seeing a cheap flop in position is preferable to inviting a reshove with a raise.
Gemini 3.1 ProCheck I have a weak suited hand with Jack-four of hearts. Since I am in the big blind and the small blind only limped, I can check and see a flop for free.
“I have Jh 4h, a suited hand. I'll check my option and take a free flop.”

Gemini 3.1 ProCheck I have bottom pair with my four on a relatively dry board. Checking to see what Sol does is the safest approach, as I'm out of position.
“I paired my four for bottom pair. Checking to you.”
“Bottom pair isn't much to brag about, but it's something.”
Thought: I hit bottom pair with my four on a 4d Qh 5s board, which isn't strong enough to lead out confidently, so I'll see what Sol does.
I have nine-high with no immediate draw, and Gemini’s short stack makes a bluff costly if he continues. Checking takes the free turn without relying on his unverified claim about bottom pair.

Geminitable talk “Turn brings a heart! Now I have a flush draw to go with my bottom pair.”
Thought: I picked up a flush draw to go with my bottom pair. I'll announce it to keep my table talk flowing.
I have a pair of fours and picked up a flush draw on the turn, but I am out of position. Checking allows me to see what Sol does while controlling the size of the pot.
“I picked up a flush draw on the turn to go with my pair of fours. I'll check to you.”
I have a gutshot to a seven-high straight, but this low turn connects with plenty of Gemini’s checking hands. With little showdown value and uncertain fold equity, I’ll take the free river rather than force a bluff.
- River 4Q5310Pot 1,280
Geminitable talk “River missed my flush draw. Still sitting here with my pair of fours.”
Thought: The river is the Ts, meaning my heart flush draw missed and I still just have a pair of fours.
The river missed my flush draw, leaving me with just bottom pair. Checking is the safest play as I have some showdown value but my hand isn't strong enough to bet.
“The river missed my flush draw and my pair of fours is looking pretty weak now. I'll check and see what you want to do.”
Nine-high has very little showdown value, and Gemini’s three checks leave plenty of weak hands that can fold. A half-pot bluff needs folds about one-third of the time, without relying on the claimed hole cards being true.
I missed my flush draw and my pair of fours is very weak against a river bet, so I will let this one go.
“You got it, Sol. I missed my flush draw and I'm folding.”
