Yeah those two check behinds surprised me, I was thinking worst case I was about to get hosed by bigger flush for three river bets when I raised and called the reraise. Not to be.
So here is the thing, I have been constantly amazed by the number of times I get to check raise and still get called down or even reraised by the same opponents. Over and over the same routine:
flop, i check they bet i call
turn, i check they bet I raise they call or sometimes raise letting me cap
River, i bet they call I show the nuts.
So these guys tonight seem to be paying attention, or even if they are not, i can't get away with same thing over and over forever...especially when moving up (I think?). So any suggestions for varying or maybe you see me getting away with missing bets by not betting the flop more...whatever, looking for tips here. Thanks!
