Default Re: who needs a free card?

Standard for me is raise the flop, bet the turn, and check the river if I missed.

I like this because:
A) We have good pot equity so betting the turn isn’t that expensive
B) There is a small but reasonable chance that he is betting a draw, so getting to showdown isn’t that expensive
C) He may even fold bottom pair

All these combined, I think, give us a better EV than taking a free turn card and folding river. Or just calling down. Although it could be close, and I could be wrong.
