This maybe very simple, but I am unsure if I am making the right play. When making sizing my turn bets with hands that could turn into draws (sets on scary boards) and semi-bluffs, I make sure to price myself into calling a ck-shove. Here is an example. In general, is this a good idea or no? I have my reasons, but I wonder what others have to say.
