Villain is tag, but a hair passive really. Seems pretty obvious he has a pair here. Even tho, he's passive, I may induce a bet here or a river call. However, I hate giving free cards...even if it's only 2 outs. And, there can be plenty of overs to his 7s or whatever that scare him anyway.

Thoughts?

He's half stacked, and thus a donkey. Give him opportunity to think his 77 overpair is good.

WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF THIS HALF STACKED MENTALITY!

If the shoe fits.

Re: 400: AA Considering Turn Check
 

It doesn't.

Re: 400: AA Considering Turn Check
 

Even if a half stack is a good player, great player, even, they still need to felt postflop lighter than deeper stacks.

Re: 400: AA Considering Turn Check
 

And the shoe does fit as a generalization.

Re: 400: AA Considering Turn Check
 

Why are we generalizing?

You play hands based off of individual reads

Point taken; however, that doesn't mean they're calling stations.

We're generalizing because that's our purpose as reviewers and advisors. Only when we are given specific information do we disregard relevant generalizations.
