Re: Going for full value
Mostly with this hand and board...would four bet and lead the turn since, of course, many play overcards the same way (3-bet) and will take the free card a great deal on the turn (and true monsters might wait until turn). Don't like just calling and leading a "safe turn" (stop n go/ aka donk) here since not very sure what's dangerous and don't want to give free card (which will be taken a great deal here)...Just calling and check raising turn is silly (so why bring it up? Its fun to think about...) since reading a pair by the turn isn't too tough(no draws) so checking behind a lot with hands will little showdown value (and three-bet when mighty sevens no good) will result. Like the 4 bet/lead...
Now, does THIS situation merit a change from the usual line? Confess, 1.2 means nothing...appears its "passive" by responses and the 64 hand. Wouldn't discount overcards/worse pair here generally even though passive, as beaten on 64 (tilt?) and general randomness, especially short, comes into play. Good flop, short table, it takes a lot to back off, but go with the feel of the current dharma.
