Re: 150/300 bellagio hand
I am assuming seat 3, is actually seat 5 the high stakes NL guy.
I like check raising the turn. I think it is good for metagame consderations. Also, I think it could induce a crazy 3 bet from smaller pocket pairs. It could also cause weak call downs etc.
If he does have a better ace, then you have a strong draw at him, and I don't think he is going to raise your river bet without a monster if you c/r the turn.
I think if he is bluffing and you c/r him, hes gonna go nuts from time to time and 3/bet and bet the river.
Either way, it is likely to fluster him, and your hand nearly merits a raise for value. I am not sure how wide his call 3 cold range is here, but I am assuming it could involve some wierd hands, JTs, pocket pairs...
