Default Re: A9s vs. turn screwplay

[ QUOTE ]
But by default in this type of situatino with a hand I'm just threebetting the flop and leading the turn, I feel that it's not worth the risk of losing lots of BB just to possibly with 0.5BB more

By definition the screwplay is a turn check raise after being the last agrressor on the flop.


Example: live game a couple of weeks ago.

I raise AQh UTG1, cc by MP1, hu to the flop.
Kxx two hearts. I bet, he calls.

Turn brings a low heart and I c/r.

Now, since the flop is drawless except for the heart draw there is very strong possiblity that this guy has either a K or some other pocket pair and doesn't believe that I have a K. So my thinking is that he will view a turn check by me as legitimate weakness, either in the form of my giving up, or in the form of wanting to see the river with something like a heart draw for one bet max. Thus since the opponent will often enough view the turn check as legitmate weakness I should be able to get him to bet enough of the time to make this the most profitable line. Another thing to keep in mind is that giving a free card on this turn is of no consequence.
