Straining to justify this play
My third orbit at a 3/6 table full of unknowns. The villain seemed normal.
I reckoned on the turn that biting on the induced bet would just be charging myself to draw, whereas a checkraise might nab me some fold equity against the marginal end of his range. Even a lot of big hands he'd have been slowplaying on the flop will be frozen by the three-flush. Conversely, another free card would be pure money.
After thinking some more, I'm beginning to wonder whether any pairs or ace-highs would actually fold the turn. Plus I was only getting about 3:2 on the play. FWIW, I checked the river ten, but probably would have fired on a blank and certainly a heart.
