Re: Dodging a check-raise?
Turn check is bad. Don't play your feelings, play the math. As for FTOP, it really is irrelevant here and is hurting this dialogue more than it's helping. Technically, yes, by FTOP, the turn check was the "right" play, given that we know villain's cards. Since we don't at the time, a turn bet is ultimately correct. This turn should be a bet 100/100 times, not 95. btspider was on the money
The replies towards the end of this thread saying that just reading this they had a feeling you would be check/raised are reinforcing bad ideas. When you have been a professional poker player making hundreds of thousands of dollars, then I invite you to play by feel. Until then, stick with the mathematically sound strategies (ie bet the turn).
