Playing from the blinds: J9o

Check call, lead turn in most cases.

Like curtains said, you don't want a big pot and the above line gives you a fair bit of information relatively cheaply.

Why c/c, lead turn instead of c/r flop?

Grunch. My assumption is that this keeps the pot smaller for taking impetus on a safe turn card (like the one that happened), if we decide to do so. If the turn is a club or an over, we can easily release. The way I played it, with the c/r, if villain calls, and the turn is a club or an ace (or any over), we're up sh*t creek. This is just my interpretation, I don't know if it's the correct/best line.

Yah, check/calling then leading a safe turn is a cash NL play where you have a marginal holding and think your opponent might be playing a strong draw or something like that and you don't want to get blown off of your hand.

It is only a deepstacked play though although I'm sure a variation can be used properly with shallower stacks in a tournament situation using an open push on the turn.

That being said, c/r is too expensive and c/c lead the turn lets you get off cheap cus people either have the goods or big balls to push over a turn 2/3 pot bet.
