did you check the flop to induce betting on the turn and river?

I'm not sure I totally understand the flop check, but, putting that aside I also don't understand why a turn raise wouldn't make sense here. If the SB has a king, he's probably staying around following the flop check. A smooth call on the turn may induce a check from SB on the river anyway. The decision comes down to weighing how often SB is bluffing (or betting a worse hand thinking its good) and will drop to turn pressure (costing you a bet compared to how you play it) vs. how often SB is betting a worse hand (like a medium K) and will pay you off an extra bet if you raise the turn. My suspicion is that the second is more likely and so a turn raise is correct, particularly considering the fact that SB may not lead the turn anyway.


One obvious thing to consider is what to do if you get three-bet on the turn. With the pot about 6.5 big bets at that point and the prospect of facing a river bet, I may not give myself much more than 20% equity. So I'd lean toward folding. Thoughts?

I think he's trying too hard to incorporate some variant plays into his game in spots where at the very least it won't gain him much. And that he's reading too much Angie Harmon, lol.
