Blind battle, easy fold on the turn?

[ArturiusX]

At least with betting you're not inflating the pot and not asking to get outplayed. If someone raises, easy muck. But I'd probably check-call and see how they play the turn. Why are you playing this hand so hard?

Hi ArturiusX,

What if you are very sure he's going to bet the turn? Do you still check call the flop?

Why I'm playing this hand so hard? Well, if I bet he will raise most hands, even worse hands. If he calls he calls most turns too. So bet, bet isn't going to tell me a lot either. Check-call, check-call is probably even more expense than a check-raise on the flop. I want to know where I stand and that's why I check-raise the flop. Because he called I knew I was probably far behind and I could check fold the turn safely.

Thanks,

Guido
