Default Re: 50NL baluga theorem here?

[ QUOTE ]
This guy here bets and then check raises. In general they think it's a sexy trap. They see it on TV and think it's a balla play. That's it. Considerations like growing a pot with a strong hand etc. are not part of their thinking.

I'm not exactly disagreeing with you here, but you are not giving enough credit to the villian. I mean, a bet then c/r is a very powerful tool against floaters and other aggros. Used wisely this is a line that can slow down an opponent, and make your oop drawing hands more powerful. The threat of a turn c/r will often buy you a free card against TP type hands that don't want to get "Baluga'd" off a showable hand. On a single-hand level, it may not be the optimal line, but on a metagame level, it is much more than a 'sexy trap.'
