Default Re: Big draw OOP against a possible steal

[ QUOTE ]

If we follow Entity's advise it boils down to this. Do you think someone else (preferably in EP) will bet this flop if you check? Do you think someone will raise you with no callers between the 2 of you if you bet? If the answer to any of these questions is yes then you should check, otherwise you should bet. This is probably an overly simplistic interpretation of Entity's advise but it's the way I understand it.

This is a *bit* simplistic, but basically right on. We want bets going in, but we don't want to isolate. The general idea is that this flop is likely to have hit somebody (if not several people) enough that they will bet it. I would expect someone to bet here very often, and if that bet comes from EP, then we c/r. You were basically right, I just think you're probably underestimating the amount of times somebody will bet this flop.
