    Part 1:
    OK, its the early stages of an STT, say 40/80 blinds (no limit by the way). Your in mid position and you decide to limp with 10 9 suited. Two more callers and the blinds complete for a pot of 400. Flop comes 9 6 2 rainbow. Its checked to you.

    Q1. Whats your move and why?
    Q2. If you had 8 9s rather than 9 10s would it alter your decision?

    Part 2:
    You decide to bet..... 200. Its folded round to small blind who calls and big blind folds. Turn is Q. Small blind checks.

    Q1. Whats your move and why?
    Q2. If small blind bet after turn whats your move and why?

    All stacks are more or less the same and you have no info on any player.

    1) bet 1/2 to 2/3 pot. For value, information
    2) no

    1) check. If I think SB is a fish I bet.
    2) fold because he wants me to raise

    what i find myself doing alot lately is following up a bet on the flop with another bet on the turn. the size of the bets i make varies.

    but you indicated some sort of strength on the flop I believe you have to follow it up with a bet.

    Id make a bet of about 300.

    If there is any sort of draw available on the flop, I bet the turn. 1/2 pot.
