If the turn is a missed c/r I like it as much as I like the river.

I hadn't decided whether I was checkraising a turn bet or not. (That was me: acting without a plan.) Probably I wasn't.

The flop 3-bet intimidated me, and I figured I must be up against, you know, one of the 6 available combinations of KQ, if not something better [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]. (We really need an eye-rolling emoticon, by the way. I think Clarkmeister pointed that out once.)

I figured if I donked the turn, CO would raise only if he had me beat. And I thought if I checked, he'd bet AQ anyway.

Do you really like the river? Or do you dislike both a turn and river checkraise?

I'm not sure I like:

1. Pre-flop
2. The flop-c/r has the tendency to fold hands you'd like to call. I guess maybe you can justify it with the overcard though.

I don't like preflop either. It was a pretty abnormal play for me.

On the flop, I didn't anticipate CO's 3-bet followed by UTG+1's fold, but I guess maybe I should have. (But even if the action following the checkraise just went call, call, I'm not sure it's so great.)
