My new move: The Turn Check Raise

[SuitedSixes]

I appreciate all of the feedback. I think that Irieguy nailed it, this move needs to be done with a higher stack/blind ratio and probably isn't effective in a SNG environment . . . certainly not on Party, certainly not in the 800 starting chip levels, and certainly not in the situation I described (thanks eastbay).

Excellent analysis by everyone. I sometimes use the "bet-check-raise" when I have a good hand and can remember to do it. It is very effective. As Sam pointed out, checking after betting screams weakness, which your opponent is all to happy to bet at.

I hadn't thought much about the potential this type of play has as a bluff. I will have to try it at some point.

I've been trying it when I actually have a hand, and all the "smart guys" are right, the players who know what they are doing HAVE to call. They are pot committed by the time we get there. I guess it it more of a "get all of the chips move" than a good bluff move like I had previously hoped.

Unfortunately, the tight players are not the ones paying for our (2+2'ers) profits. You may still be the best player at the table, but not to the same extent. Its no longer taking candy from babies. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Getting fancy probaly isnt the answer, either. The game just inst as exploitable (lucrative) as it once was.

Strictly a deep stack move vs a decent/good player.
