Re: Free Card Question
It depends on how much you mix up your play.
Generally, if you try to semi-bluff me I will 3-bet you
if your draw is obvious (or not). If you raise for value
as well as for deception, your fold equity will be higher
as I will not always know where I stand against you.
If you raise in position or c/r a 4-flush/oesd oop, yes, I
will generally put you on a draw and try to move you away
if it does not hit. If you never make these plays, I can draw
for free and punish you when I already have a hand or hit
my draw.
You left out the possibility of re-stealing on the river, if you
put your opponent on the thought of your draw missing.
Against thinking opponents, you do not have the luxury of
always using free card plays and semi-bluffing.
Those plays only really work in passive games that actually
contain fold equity.
Merry Christmas!
