Default No, No, No...

Hey caesar,

[ QUOTE ]
I don't particularly enjoy getting most of my money in when I'm dead with no way to win the pot.

[/ QUOTE ]

Neither does anybody. But, it does happen from time to time. The fact that this is one of those times doesn't mean that your line was poor...

I maintain that, given the opponent that you described and the depth of the stacks, betting the turn is FAR worse than checking (and usually raising). I maintain this despite the fact that you will be drawing dead a decent chunk of the time that he calls the check-raise. So, just ignore that bad feeling inside. Drawing dead happens.

I don't have time now, but if I get a chance, I'll try to give a more detailed explanation of why checking the turn is likely best here...

Better luck next time.
