Default Re: check behind on turn to get paid off on river?

Any elaboration as to why checking the turn with a set in a HU pot is REALLY BAD?

In fact, it isn't REALLY BAD, and betting isn't REALLY BAD, and pushing isn't REALLY BAD, and an argument exists for each.


But I am curious why letting an opponent who is drawing dead much of the time catch a card on the river is a horrible play......?

Because with super class hands you want to get lots of money into the pot and win lots of money.

With merely good hands it is often more profitable to snap off bluffs/avoid having to make tough decisions/not lose a lot when behind.

So you don't reccomend trapping very often?

Fast playing the nuts is surprisingly deceptive against the majority of opposition
