Bob,
I actually take this line a fair amount, against such an opponent. And I adopt the same reasoning that you have expressed. But frankly, I do fear that it might be a leak.

It all comes down to this: if Villain folds so much that you can profitably ignore the gap principle, then Villain is not a good player in this situation. We call them "good players"...

Re: I Know 2+2 Wants To Kill Me For This......
I don't fold, and probably cap more than call.
UTG could be raising with huge range of hands, notwithstanding those numbers. And CO could easily be 3-betting with a middle pair. My numbers aren't...

Re: 3-bet J10s against good player?
Well, I'm thinking of an opponent who does not blindly go to sd no matter what, and is willing to back off occasionally.
Does that change things for you?

Re: Pretty common turn spot that I hate
Bryce,
I'm confused when you say they are separate events.
Are you really saying that the same player who will check behind with a pair, is also likely to raise the river with the same holding?...
