I can't figure out if Im insane or not

[curtains]

I feel like I'd never do this in a $215....I've never played with the opponent before in my life.

the double checkraise huh? would you have tried it if he had bet say, t400, after your river check?

[Phil Van Sexton]

Interesting.

Why check the flop? Against an unknown opponent I'd be afraid he'd check behind and that would be very sad given the number of overcards you don't want to see.

I guess you are assuming that the typical opponent at this buy-in will bet when checked to. Would you check against an unknown 109 or 215 player?

[curtains]

Yeah, betting out the flop seems like it'd be normal.

[Blarg]

This seems like Vol. II of the genius thread.
