Re: Flat-out adorable
I've had some good success with this play, but under somewhat different circumstances. I find it's really useful out of the blinds in an unraised pot. The usual dynamic:
-I have two cards, and I miss a ragged flop.
-It's checked to button (or whoever is last to act), who makes a probe bet to try to take down the pot.
-Hero calls, and if it's heads up, bets out on the turn.
-Button folds.
Granted this kind of play only works against a weak-tighty, the kind of guy who will bet 1/6 of the pot in order to take it down. A CR might work as well but the check-call, bet the turn line gives you more FE.
In this case, it's a toughie. Villain definately played it weird. In your shoes, with a raised pot and all, I'd like this betting pattern if you had something other than the overs, a mid-pair would work for me.
