Default Re: Big Hands on Big Streets

Your question is a bit too generic. Against an unknown (live) you will usually be ahead at 4-5 bets, and behind at 6-8 bets depending on the action.

As far as the hand posted, I think the only really reason not to 4 bet the flop and lead the turn is to CR the turn. That action and that board looks a whole lot like SB is on a draw and the raiser has a made hand he wants to protect. This is way too good a checkraising spot to pass up since many sane opponents won't raise 1 pair hands on the turn but will always bet and call down a CR. If you somehow know that the pfr will raise then bet/3bet on the turn is fine but that can't be counted on live.

Another line that can be pretty sweet here if you have a read is to cap up the flop AND checkraise the turn. This will work against aggro opposition who will put you on a flush draw or pair/draw combo that missed on the turn.
