I threw in the C/R on the flop specifically to mix things up. What line should we take on the turn though? The "I'm scared of the flush, check/weak bet" or the "I'm repping a strong hand strong bet"? Or something else?

it would be more fun to act weak especialy if the player gets chip-happy.

Your flop checkraise is ridiculously small, and gains you nothing.

Lead the turn for about 50c. Keep it simple. Make your draw cheaply, then value bet it. ABC poker.

why not do that weak lead thing? If any of your opponents holds an 8, say...the A-8, they still have an open-ender. At the .01/.02, i've also seen people come over the top on a 3-suited board to see if their top pair is any good. The weak-lead allows you to 1. get any donkey calling stations (of which there are many at .01/.02) to call /w their pair, 2. lets any open-enders stick around in the pot because its still cheap to get there and 3. let LAG donkeys come over the top of you to see if their pair is any good.

the good thing about #2 is that if they do get there, you're porbably gettin paid off. big time.

Yeah, I actually misread the pot-size when I raised, which is why it's x2.5, as I didn't want to overpot it or anything.
Results? I bet 3/8 of the pot on the turn, got one caller who folded to a 1/2 pot bet on the river. It was just one of those sessions
