Top pair, no kicker, on the bubble of a $50 STT.

If you were gasman, how would you proceed on the flop? (Yes, I wouldn't have made up the blind either, but if you had for some reson, how would you play flop?)

I like the reraise (flop) but having done so he is pretty much told he is behind, no point shipping with a 2 kicker!!
I see this all the time though, people limp with rubbish kickers, hit top pair and think they have hit their flop!! This is why i always have in my mind what i want from a flop and if i don't get it i have no problems letting go.

yeah I agree with that. as soon as he's reraised he knows he's F'ed

With a stack that will be commited by a checkraise, I usually like to lead these top pair weak kicker hands rather than checkraise - if called or raised you are usually uscwap.
