Standard Hypothetical Situation.

paster,

"standard fish" is very vague. vs many tags id check behind and call a bet on a blank river because i think pot control > charging draws. however, vs a fish who likely wont bluff it becomes best to just bet the turn. i think its worth noting that there are way more tag"fish" than regular fish that make checking for pot control better in general.

well, i assume most "tagfish" will be c/r the flop with a FD, bc they c/r all their draws bc thats the cool thing to do obv.

If we can greatly reduce the number of FDs in his range, then i agree that the check behind is obv better.

I guess "standard fish" was a bad term to use, but in my mind, this person would never c/r the turn on a semibluff or bluff of any kind, so our bet is obv for value/protection.

If we're raised its an easy muck, and when we're called, we still win the pot pretty often.

The reason i made this post is bc i think most people just check behind the turn in this situation with no real thought process besides "omg 2nd pair = pot control" which i think is wrong...a bunch.
