Unless you have a read that he is in love with the free card play, I would expect him to take a free turn with a worse hand approximately never. He wants to get the fold. That's why people raise this flop with weak hands.

So what is the value of bet-folding? You have outs even versus a seven so getting raised is a real cost even if you are never bluffed off the pot.

I count nine straight draws on this flop and the T [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] completes seven of them. We could go home now. I really don't see the advantage of calling the river against most players. Too many kings, sevens, and other hands bombing us and not enough hands that we beat to make up for it. I don't see him pushing small pockets and chopping nines very often in this situation.
