Default Re: Free Card Question

Its a 'feel' thing.

Sometimes I soft-play my big draws because I'm worried about my FE or about getting re-raised off the hand...
Cold-calling bets in position...check/calling....etc...
Can still be profitable when a guy has a monster that would've re-raised you out on the flop, and you hit the turn.

Sometimes I raise for a free card / to set up a steal later...

One classic position for this would be when you're in position with the OOP PFR CB. Here's a tell to my betting style if you ever play me: I usually min-raise for the free card. Awful maybe...but I've had decent success with it. If they check the turn, and I think he missed the flop with his air or lower PP - sometimes I'll bet and win it there....sometimes I'll take the free card. Its win/win.
