If other players also check, you have lost the opportunity to to take additional bets. If you have winning hand at the turn, turn up the heat and make them pay up. http://www.sharewisdom.org/games/poker/33.html http://www.sharewisdom.org/games/poker/27.html First, let's define a top pair. You have a top pair when your pair contains the highest card on the board. By example: you have in your hand, a 9-10, and the flop is 4-6-10. You have a top pair because of your pair of 10's. If instead you had 6-K in your hand, with the same flop of 4-6-10 you would have a pair but it would not be the top pair since someone could have a 10 in their hands giving them the top pair. I advise to fold if after the flop, you do not have a top pair (or better) and there is a bet in front of you. 'Or better' above means having three of kind, a straight or flush. http://www.sharewisdom.org/games/poker/27.html
