Default A new play for me.

I open-raise from the CO with A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] in a 6-max game. A bad loose aggressive player who perceives me to be aggressive defends in the BB.

The flop comes 8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. He checks. I check.

First time ever?

I find I do enough check/call baiting so that opponents become suspicious of me. I normally take this down on the turn with a bet.

I think you misclicked or something. I would cap this flop with your given description.

It's something I've only started to do in the last couple of weeks. Not my standard line, but a change-up that I'll use 5 or 10 percent of the time when I perceive the circumstances to be right.

The fish, bad as they are, are actually quite keen observers at the Party 10/20 games. Changeups are good.

I love doing this if I've been getting good cards lately but missing on the flop. Since I usually bet after a preflop raise I release a fair amount of hands on the flop/turn when I miss. When I've done this a few times and I check the flop, and it gets checked around, a bet on the turn usually picks it up since people assume a slowplay.

You would get me, if an aggressive preflopraise bet/raise flop, everything is normal, but if he checks? And then bet turn?

But I think its better to do when board got more high cards, then maybe you can make him fold a pair? Also its better to do if u got no showdown value, like QJs?

What hand will he lay down on a 842r board that you dont want him to chase your AQ with?

Also, I would like to do this against thinking players, not LAGs?

But its a good move that I havent used a lot, will try to think about it in future.

I'm not sure who folds a pair heads-up in a steal situation, but i'd like to play with them [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]. I'd be more inclined to pull this move on a raggy flop just because these are the sort of flops that aggressive players love to play back at you on. If the flop comes with atleast a single high card you'll be given more credit for hitting something than if it's all rags (though maybe not a whole lot given the steal situation).
