Turn: (3.75 BBs) 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
The Dude checks, <font color="red">Button bets</font>, <font color="red">The Dude raises</font>, planning on folding to a 3-bet, and betting the river if called.

I'm thoroughly convinced this line is far superior to putting in a pf 3-bet or flop cr. In this kind of steal situation the flop gets checkraised with all kinds of draws and overcards and complete crap. If my hand were stronger and I didn't mind if Button pushed back, fine, cr the flop. But with 3rd pair, after I put in my raise if he pushes back I have to fold, so I can wait 'till the turn where it's a lot easier to represent a real hand.

I also like the move like this. And what would you do if T, Q, K or A fell on turn?
Would you still c/r?

that's the bad thing about not c/r this flop. this is pretty much a gin turn card for 77 besides hitting a set. if any big card came it would be an easy check fold, but if you c/r the flop and lead the turn, villian would have to fold if he has air. if he doesn't have a big card he will take it down on the turn with the continuation bet.
