AK facing turn resistance

[SideCash]

What about calling the turn and calling reasonable size river bet? Does anyone think this is way to weak?

if villain would lead out on the turn - i'd raise to know where i stand, and/or to get a cheap showdown.

I might be missing something here. [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] So I might be off base. I'm assuming the above quote is talking about the line you took in the OP. Check flop and then raise a lead bet from villian 'to see where you stand.' Right? That's *one* of the reasons you bet the flop. To see where you stand. How villian reacts to your bet better defines his hand for you and you know better how you stand. As you played it in the OP, I think your best line is to just call his turn bet, and see what he does on the river, calling him down probably.

I think in our dialogue here sometimes we are talking about two different things. My bluff with air worry has to do with your line of checking the flop. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Anywho, my default is bet flop, bet turn. Against unknowns, that is what I am usually doing. If I feel I am missing value somewhere against certain opponents, I will mix it up. Bet flop, check turn with these kinds of hands is something I also do sometimes. That's one thing I am working on, as a matter of fact, getting more value out of my winning hands.

yeah, this thread got really complicated as the discussion we are having is about a turn where i have led the flop. But the OP is me checking the flop. Kinda gets confusing - OP being one thing / discussion is about another scenario. Been an interesting dialogue, will be exiting if the OP gets any more replies.
