A7o blind steal - Inducing a bluff

[krimson]

Villian was something like 16/14/2.5 (50 hands) at the time this hand took place. I check the turn to avoid being bluffed off the hand, avoid paying off a King or slowplayed overpair, and induce a river bluff from any hand that would likely fold to my bet.

I would usually bet the turn and fold to a checkraise with the intention of checking behind on the river. I have to give this hand more thought.

This seems fine to me.

If you're ahead, Villain usually won't have a whole lot of outs, since in order for him to have more than 3 overcard outs, he'd need to have 3-bet preflop without an ace or a king.

SB's flop check is odd. I'm not sure what's going on, really.

I would likely not do this on any other card then the K. Problems with the K:

a) It hits a lot of his 3-betting range.
b) If it didn't hit his hand, it's the most likely card for him to bluff at.

As I mentioned, he is also not likely to pay me off with a worse hand at this point.
