Default Re: a semi-bluff out of position

The turn cr screams I'm on a draw. Why would you blast away the field if you had a T?

i'm not convinced... there's 2 flush draws and straight draws out there. if i have a ten i'm raising here and making the draws pay as much as possible. on the other hand, if i'm on a big draw and i don't think i have lot of fold equity, i'd much rather call and keep others in.

EDIT: i realized that you probably meant that checkraising as opposed to betting out with a ten would be retarded. you're right about that.

and also... even if the turn CR does scream draw, the fishy doesn't necessarily know that. i've been trying to work on my hand-reading at this game in the past few weeks, trying to avoid making bad bluffs/value bets, etc, but if there's one thing i've noticed, it's that these opponents don't think rationally and giving them credit for rational thought is -EV.
