Line Check

gazza127

OK.  Ignoring reads etc.

Is this a standard line for my hand?  Particularly looking at the turn.  Do I check for pot control and so he can bluff worse hands or should I be making him pay for all the draws out there?  Bearing in mind I dont know if im ahead in the hand yet...

I barrel the turn cos there are so many draws and worse hands that call.

Obv here he's never folding the OESD + FD but he could have just checked back to take a free shot at his draws and you'll have been the one that made the mistake.

Yeah I keep betting for value/protection on the turn. It's unlikely he has us beat given the action, but our hand is vulnerable to a degree. 

Harsh river, but I do love a back door flush

I like checking the turn if we think the villain is going to float the flop with air and bet the turn a lot. That has to be quite a lot more likely than him just having a draw or pair, though. If he's just floating the flop, it's less likely that we get paid on three streets than if we keep betting and he has a made hand or draw. How likely is it that he floats flop and then barrels turn and river after getting resistance? Blind vs blind, he may call multiple streets with just one-pair or may call two streets with a draw and bluff river if he misses.

So, is he floating more often than he has a hand? He's not going to give us credit for much of a hand, after all.

In a vacuum I'd say it's better to just keep betting our hand on the turn. Most players don't float so when he calls the flop, we should assume he has some sort of hand unless we know him well. Our AT is crushing the range that calls here but doesn't 3-bet pre-flop.
