yeah...it's a semi-bluff.
He's showing weakness by checking.
Unless you have significant fear of a check-raise there is a strong enough chance that he will fold to the double-sized bet on the turn.

The key to this is that there is only one opponent left.

If there were 2 or more opponents left then winning the pot right then and there with a bet would have been unlikely and you should strongly consider taking the free-card.

but with only 1 opponent left I want to see if he'll fold his AK or lower pocket-pair or whatever he might have after I showed strength by raising the flop.

No, you still suck just as bad, except now we think you're a liar too.

Re: ed millers quiz
 

I got a 6/8. I knew all the answers, but it asked what I would do. No sense lying to yourself.

Re: ed millers quiz
 

yeah, i got 7 too. i missed the 1st one, but for me it was a spot where I'd sometimes call, and sometimes fold, so I guess its only a small leak for me??

BTW, on the KJ one, would it be correct to check the turn if you had AK instead, and you were vs. an aggressive player?? I think its a pretty easy bet in his question, but if I had AK in that spot I'd be more inclined to mix it up and check occasionally, since AK has more showdown value.

Well maybe you should, you might learn how to play aces or AQ!

I got 8 ... but anyone who has read SSHE should get 8 easily, really.

Re: ed millers quiz
 

6/8. The K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] question threw me, as I opted to call preflop (instead of raising) and checking the turn (instead of betting).

Re: ed millers quiz
 

yeah i also knew all of the answers, and i haven't read sshe yet. however, i'm not sure if i would play accordingly every time.
