Re: How do you play the flop and turn against a good opponent?

Troll, what are you putting him on with the check raise, and what do you think he is putting you on with your call of the check raise?

On the flop with my c-bet, I think I allowed him to have a pretty big range to check raise with. I think he would do this with any set or two pair and also of course a bluff representing the same.
By me calling it, I was hoping that we would put me on a draw. The best case scenario would then be a blank on the turn, he would be more likely to bet since the draw was missed.
The turn -
Of course there were a lot of draws that hit and I should probably have called any bet by him on the turn or bet myself. I recall vividly when the turn hit though the thought that maybe we had completely switched hands and he had the draw...and therefore if I bet it he was either going to fold or checkraise the turn...so I chickened out and checked behind.
Playing against good opponents = so much more but so much less profitable......
