Re: Sexy draw easy turn check?

Anyway, I doubt you'll take it down with a turn bet. (I don't think SB is folding whatever he 3-bet with preflop very often in this big pot -- at least not yet.) Could a bet perhaps set up a river steal on a blank, though? That could be asking for a lot, but with such a big draw, you don't need that much folding equity to make pursuing a steal worthwhile.

With the way SB played his hand it's pretty clear he has a good made hand. After coming this far, it's doubtful that he'll just give up for one bet in a 12BB pot. I think it'd be better to try and bluff when nobody's showing weakness. It's always better when bluffing to represent a hand, not just strength, and there's not many hands to clearly represent when bluffing on this board given the PF action.

For what it's worth, SB's flop checkraise could be an attempt to protect a vulnerable made hand or even to get heads-up with his AK (which might have Hero beat).
As for what we're representing, couldn't we have a hand like A9/TT here, or even a set?
Anyway, I've never actually played 5/10 6-max, and I don't know how likely we are to be able to steal the pot with a turn bet followed by a river bet. I suspect not very. A lot of things would have to go right for that to happen.
I was kind of just throwing the idea out there.
