Default Re: check/raise, check/call?

[ QUOTE ]
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?

Wheelz said the guy has watched him be pretty aggressive so its tough to tell, but yea he would probably fold those a decent amount of the time.

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?

[/ QUOTE ]
No I don't think calling the river would be wise so yes I am hoping he checks it down and lets me win. I'm not saying this will happen everytime, but I don't see this guy betting all 3 streets with an unimproved queen high all that often.

I don't disagree that you will pick up more pots by taking the lead in this hand, but you need to weigh that against the investment you make and then compare it to your other options. It's probably close, but I think in this hand your showdown value helps you win the pot without any aggression enough to make a passive line more valuable.
