I had better results in spots like these when I started betting these turns instead of tending to check them.

If you think of them like a big bet poker problem a double barrel is collectivly still less than a pot sized bet.

I also hate being raised on the turn in blind battles with medium strenght hand [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I like it.

Re: Standard Blind Steal Situations
 

Hand 1 is better as button gets more aggro. Since you said "mostly laggro", I think this is okay. I'd still probably bet turn and river though.

I think you should bet the turn in hand two. You probably have the best hand and giving a freecard seems bad. I know you want to induce here, but you can find better board textures for it.

again, are you calling a raise on the turn? if so i guess you're calling down, putting 3BB in on the big streets?

if you bet the turn, are you valuebetting the river?

Are these hands short or RG?

one is short and one is FR. can you tell which is which?

fwiw, i don't think it will effect the ranges much since even the FR game was pretty tight with(on avg.) only a few to the flop.

Re: Standard Blind Steal Situations
 

james I'm fine checking the turn in hand 1 as this guy will be bluffing all the time and thus insuring that a bet is going in either way (also, he's never a folding a better hand if you bet). the second hand is a clear bet on the turn because you are ahead here way too often to give a free card that he will incorrectly pay for.

Re: Standard Blind Steal Situations
 

you are beat in hand 1 most of the time, bet turn on hand 2, a raise is tough but in the long run you will win folding to the raise.

no way, this is ace/king high, random straight draws at least 50%

in these spots i never fold a pair to a LAG unless the board is something like AQJK.
