Re: Homer vs JTG, checkraise turn hoping better overcards fold.
Homer,
I was not trying to pick on you, though in retrospect it may appear that way. My point is that your play is incredibly typical of PP players. Essentially, you are almost never going to get an ace to fold to your 3-bet, especially against a player willing to bet the turn headsup in a steal situation. You are, however, going to get 4 bet frequently, and even when you do not, you are now in a hopeless bluff the river situation. You are in, at best, a situation where you must succeed in making your opponent fold nearly 40% of the time, a number that is almost certainly unachievable in the typical PP game where any Ace simply IS going to be shown down in a steal-resteal situation almost all the time.
