10/20 - my std line but is it a good one ?

Hello all,

I had discussion with my friend about that line. His arguments are that it generally sucks to build big pot out of position with overpair here, cause I am basically often "bluffing the best hand" and its too easy to pay off bigtime vs 2pair+ while doing it. My arguments were that I extract little more from hands that fold to turn second barell and I catch bluff attempts. Basically I like to balance my turn check and I do the stuff often. My friend suggests that I should do it with bluffs and stronger hands and not medium hands like overpairs. What do you think ?

i don't really like it with that particular turn card, but raising pf/betting flop/cr'ing turn is a pretty common way to play AA/KK.

As durr said, stack sizes matter a lot; if you can check raise all in on turn (without it being an absurd amount), that lines pretty good...
