Re: To Induce, or Not to Induce
Hi james,
To go with your read in hand 1, I'd need a read that the opponent was really aggressive. Not just standard, TAG aggressive, but kind of a semi-maniac at least. I've just seen SOOOO any players 3-bet the flop, check the turn, and then call the river with hands like AJ, AT, sometimes Ax, mid pocket pairs... and all of these are likely to check behind, as they are putting you on missed spades or a missed straight draw and see no value to betting.
I know they check behind because every once in a while i get tricky with a big hand and end up regretting it.
good luck.
eric
PS note that I tend to play reasonably decent and aggressive players, which of course taints everything I write.
