Default Re: its the only way you can win

however I like heros follow through bet on the turn

Ok mike, what is hero following through? On the flop i like the raise, and even the 4 bet is alright by me with the nut flush/overcard draw. Now on the turn he shouldn't be following through like nothing has changed. A blank hit the turn and now he is essentially 1/2 as likely to hit his draw. Time to check. As a semibluff you cant convince me- i can remember maybe twice when i was in on a hand that was 4-bet three way on the flop and then folded by two players for one bet on the turn. Both times a scare card came, and once i was one of the folders and that was with a very convincing read on my opponant.
Sometimes you will end up facing a c/r from the SB and sometimes you will get raised by the button who is slowplaying a set. This turn bet is -ev IMO.
