Check-Raise....

Misplayed on every street.

Pre-Flop Action (1st date):
Chick is 1st to act. She checks
RB bets
She calls (they hook up a little, looking good though, pot is right).


[/ QUOTE ]

No reads? Unforgiveable. At this point you have to put her on herpes or worse.

Flop Action (2nd date):
Chick checks
RB bets again
She calls (they hook up a lot more, RB verging on sex).


[/ QUOTE ]
Way too LAGGY. Why keep betting? She's either going to fold, or she'll call, and call, and keep calling, and pretty soon you'll be sitting on her couch playing with her cat and watching reruns of Sex and the City.

I only agree with this line if she's tight and agressive and she's holding a big pair.

[ QUOTE ]

Turn Action (3rd date):
Chick checks
RB bets again (starts talking about sex in general, working his way up to the "no condom" discussion, and eventual condom-less sex).
Chick calls (engages him in said conversation).


[/ QUOTE ]
Bet, check or fold. Never talk. Talking is always -EV.

[ QUOTE ]

River Action (still 3rd date):
Chick checks (conversation still flowing, sex in the air).
RB bets big (starts talking about sex with condoms, how he hates it).
Chick check-raises - "You know, if I were to get pregnant, I would definitely keep the baby, I have a career, I'm older, and it would make sense to do that."

RB folds, knowing she has the winning hand and he'd been betting into the nuts the whole time.

This may sound weak-tight, but I only get into this situation if I'm positive that I have the first and second nuts, and there are no third or fourth nuts anywhere nearby.
