Default Re: check/raise, check/call?

[ QUOTE ]
See the thing is that on this flop, a check-raise is really only going to knock out worse hands (Q and J highs) and maybe some stronger aces, although you say he is adjusting to your aggressive play so its tough to tell whether he'll take AQ to showdown here.

he said his opponent was a seemingly TAG but unknown plyr, not calling-station-donk-horrible-extraordinaire... you think average "TAGish" is calling down w/ 55/67/AT?
also we dont want him in there w/ QJ unless he plans to spew off a bucket of chips and then give up on the river.

So while I agree the flop check-raise is +EV, check-calling the flop and turn UI is probably higher +EV since you'll be stealing the pot so often anyway, but with a smaller investment on your part.

how exactly do you plan on "stealing" this pot if you intend to checkcallcheckcall?

The flop check-raise would be automatic here if you held jack high since then you won't ever be winning unimproved.

so u advise checkcalling all the way A4high?
or youre just going to check and pray he checks it down w/ no SD value and lets u win?
