I make this play (check turn, and intend to call river or bet if checked to), maybe too much. Just checking here

you checking turn so he doesnt fold his 5 or pocket pair or whatever and maybe bets the river?

Hmm...I'd probably bet the turn out of habit, but then I'd hate to be 3-bet, and I don't want to not get value if we can get him to think his medium PP is good and take a stab at the river.

All said, I kinda like this play under these circumstances.

I'm not arguing.

Why did you 3-bet the flop?

Why did you check the turn?

Why are you only c/c the river?

flop play to say: You don't have an 8.

If he caps and leads non AJ turn, I call and fold river UI, puting him on PPless than 8 usually. I wuld not raise a A/J river though.

Since no cap, my plan was to do as I did. I did not want to face anothr c/r yet my hand has SD value HU. This plan was hatched prior to me actually seeing the turn

So, without much time, I thought:

- if he has a PP < 8, he's folding almost always to a bet now
- he's folding gutshots and two high cards w/o an Ace
- if he has Ax he's going to c/r. I'm getting 5:1 effective to call down a c/r + river bet, so I feel it's an easy call down, since he won't give me credit for a really strong kicker
- if he has 55/8x (he may call here with T8s preflop, as noted, I was Laggy there), I"m geting c/r and killed, and losinng 3 bets.

He will bet a lot of rivers.

This is just a low stress way to get to SD, while losing value sometimes and saving bets other, and making more against the right opponents.

I'm sure there's a place for it, and had the turn been a T, I'm pretty certain this is a place for that, as he probably bets with A high on that river enough.

my game needs work in these situations

what are you doing on a blank turn?

When I pull this line I almost always raise the river if bet into.

But yea the flop line is pretty unslappy.

the same.
read my post, whore.

Who else thinks the flop 3-bet is a spew?

*PK raises hand*

Maybe if qualitatively you knew villain was very tight or weak post flop the play could work.

Personally, I hate the flop line.

He bet river, I called

AJ, I win.

In this case I probably made 1 less BB.

I liked my plan if no Ace, but otherwise, I should bet that Ace and call down a c/r.
Pay off trips if necessary.

PK, he c/r a lot of flops, given his stats. I mean A LOT.
I wanted to see what he did on the turn.
To the extent I use "raising for info", I use it against solid (but probably not tricky) players in HU battles.
