Default Re: I feel ashamed for not raising with my no-draw ten-high.

"So if this check/raise is a bluff, how often do you think it might succeed? One reason the turn lead bet seems good is because someone might suspect that you checked the flop hoping for a check/raise. But how likely is it that someone will think you checked through twice with a Q, or with even an underpair? Seems like just betting out is much higher EV."

He is loose passive- he open limped on the button- ie he stinks and is not a thinking player. When he gets check raised on the turn he thinks- oh crap i just got caught stealing. And folds. He doesn't think "what could the BB have that he check check/r with here?".
It also puts one more BB in the pot (though it risks two to win it so it has to work a good % of the time).

Tolbiny,

Do you ever do this? I can't imagine making cr bluff moves against loose passives is better than just leading the turn. Admittedly this is a perfect spot but still. Thanks,

Krishan
