Default Re: $200 NL, getting tricky/stupid with suited connectors.

You and Spladle Master both need to realise that you guys are not the villain in this hand. And you are not the people that the villain in this hand thinks he's playing again. When you check/raise, he is NOT going to think that you have second pair or a flush draw. He is going to think you have a set or two pair. Which you do. Which is WHY check/raising a draw is a nasty move (which I do also). But you can't play a made hand that way and expect the opponent to see through it just because you also do it with a draw. You do it with a draw BECAUSE they CAN'T see through it and they expect you to have a good made hand. These people aren't using game-theoretic approaches and aren't expecting you to either. That's why you can check/raise all your draws and get them to fold and you can lead out all your sets and get them to raise. They are bad. If you check/raise your sets, they will fold. They don't notice that you check/raised your last ten draws.
