Default Re: Value bet (Draw high)

If the BB typically check/calls after the draw when he improves then I agree with the others and think you should check behind. However, if the BB frequently bets out when he improves, then I think you should bet when he checks. Betting in this situation is an image play and not a value bet. Frequently betting in situations like this where your opponent is almost guaranteed to fold helps to establish a reckless image for yourself. Do it a couple times and your opponents will be a lot more tempted to call your legitimate value bets with weak hands.
