Default Re: Feels ugly, hand from 10/20 HU session

Stacks aren't that deep. Think about how much you would have left behind if you make a pot-sized CR on the turn and you will see why it might as well be all-in. That being said, I don't make that move every day of the week or w/o a specific read.

Given the preflop action, you won't see a double-barreled bluff on the turn very often, but if that's why you checked it to him on the turn (i.e. you knew your hand was good and wanted him to bet), then god bless. That being said, I seriously doubt that you checked it to him hoping he would bet. You checked it to him for pot control (which is hard to accomplish OOP against a good opponent). Even if he checks behind on the turn with a hand like AA, he is betting a non-heart, non-T river if you check it to him again. Then what? Call, fold, who knows?
