Re: check/raise, check/call?
[ QUOTE ]
if he is in "calldown mode" with A high you can bet the turn and the river now and get 2bets rather than one.

yeah, that's the only reason i'm questioning my check. but hey, combinatorics, there's far less Ax hands than other hands he could call the flop cr with, so i'm not overly concerned.

as far as metagame considerations i generally like to play a ton of hands the same way to widen my range. i c/r this with any pair, any draw, and air (sometimes), and bet the turn in all the situations.

i usually do too, but there are some times when i'm playing someone HU, and it happened when i was playing this guy, where i feel like giving up on the turn is best after my flop c/r gets called. so yeah he's seen me do this already, and yeah i went for the ol back-to-back checkraise once to deal with shania, he checked behind the turn then called the river. so c/r check again won't really change metagame much. it might have already changed the metagame though... an important thing that i failed to mention is that this guy isn't an overly tenacious value bettor. if i c/c the turn he'll check behind on the river with 55, 66, probably 7's. depending on the river he might bet A7, but he might check behind bad 8's as well.
