Default something to think about if you play the $55s+

How often do you have a real hand when you do the following:

Standard raise preflop, 1 or 2 callers, you're last to act postflop.

checked to you on the flop, you bet, one caller.

checked to you on the turn, you check.

There are lots of situations with deeper stacks where you should check behind with overpairs, TPTK and then call the river to control the pot. Not so much in STTs though. Just because I check behind doesnt mean I'm not calling you though [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

probably never - firing again on the turn. but i like it. it certainly opens the door for getting bluffed into on the river...accepting a certain amount of risk of course giving the river for free. hand/board/opponenet dependant of course, but interesting.

i prefer to do the check on turn w/ a real hand OOP, even on a draw heavy board, because these knuckleheads ($55's) can't seem to take their free card, and then check raise 'em all in or pot committing bet. In position, i don't see myself checking on the turn w/ overpair, maybe i should start doin' that to induce bluffs.

I do this sometimes, when I have AK on a flop with an ace and two rags, or something like that. When I think my opponent would fold to a bet, and has little chance of beating me, I'll do anything to squeeze more out of him. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Id say 50% of the time I have overcards, 25% I have a pair in my hand lower than the highest card on the board and 25% of the time I have a strong hand but I think my opponent will fold to another bet on the turn.

Sometimes I have cards and sometimes I'm just calling BS on your river bet anyway.
