Curious for your thoughts (something from ToP)

This looks like a standard stop and go to prevent the free card. In full ring games, I think this line is fine. I think that in Short Handed games, free cards are taken way less often, so this advice doesn't really need to be followed so much. I check raise the turn here, because villain will most certainly bet again.

If Villain is really semibluffing, then he has outs. Checkraising builds the pot so that he has better, or even correct, odds to call your raise. Donking gives him a chance to make a bigger mistake by calling on the turn. And you'd rather not have to face a 3-bet if he has a real hand.

Controlling pot size is something I need to do some more thinking about after having recently run across it in HEFAP and HGIYLHE.
