Re: Calldown?

if we think he wont ever fold a better hand if we cr and bet(easy assumption), or bet a worse hand for us on the turn if we ck call the flop why cant we just ck call the flop and ck fold the turn keeping the pot small?

Sure, that line is great when we are behind. What about when he takes a freecard with a 6 outer we are ahead of (the majority of his range)?

I dont think we can say we have an equity edge against the range of hands that put more bets into this pot vs a cr and we re bloating the pot with a weakish hand OOP (esp worse if we feel compelled to showdown vs further aggression ), are folding out 6 outters worth it if he ll ck behind and call a bet with K hi if we stay passive?

If we knew that for sure, that might change things, but that's a specific read I didn't have.

what makes cr'ing best I guess is my basic question.

protect our hand and get some more money on the flop. Basically the assumption is that, with 6 outers, he either folds immediately to the c/r or folds the turn UI.

but not to be raising for value or some kidn of protection in a small HU pot.

After his flop bet, we have a 5.5 SB in the pot. If we plan to call the flop and check the turn, we give him 2 free cards in a 6 SB pot, which is worth almost 1.5 SBs.
