I had a 4 letter word answer to this but now I have a 5 letter word answer. Either answer is paradoxical.
I believe this is a related hand. Just a call on the flop? It worked for me. Should I still try to keep 'belo jonq' in on the turn? He has some chips.
I'll give the answer(s) I had in mind, later on Sunday...

There were some creative replies so hopefully I really posted a riddle. I thought the most expensive card in poker is the free card and changed it to the cheap card. This is not new to many here.
I protect my hand and I protect my hand and I protect my hand. One day I don't and it costs me dearly. Saw it happen again today in 1/2 NL where guy with AQ and AA on board checks the turn - AJ makes the boat on the river. So atcyyz yes that can be a specific example.
I remember ScottyZ saying to me long ago during a Tuesday night tourney 'dangerous to let me draw for free'. Currently, I have an overwhelming need to protect my hand even when Dave posts this (and he has his reasons):
HAND #6: The first breakthrough hand. Late position with QQ I raise. I get a call from a limper on my right. Flop is Q-9-8 two diamonds. I like it… He bets 2000 at the 1200 pot. I considered raising, but I figured him for a diamond draw. And, I have become a big can of “call with position.†So, I call. Turn is a blank. He checks, I bet 4,000, he folds. I showed him my QQ. This player moved on my blinds or on the blinds when in the cutoff a lot and I was trying to keep him primed that I really do have the hand I say I do.
