Default Re: Has anyone mentioned that Fischman played great?

Fischman's flop bet might have looked like he was trying to buy the pot - as many will often do. Having failed to win the bet on the flop, many will check the turn - and often will be perceived as weak, thus enticing their opponent to either bet on 4th street or to put more chips into the pot than they otherwise would have on 5th street.

I think a turn check is quite standard here - I think it might get him a free card the next time he checks after a continuation bet (you'll want to leave doubt in your opponent's minds about what the turn check means in the future - strength or weakness) and he certainly isn't worried about giving a free card. What don't you like about the turn check here?
