the other thread is getting pretty big

~0:24:00 top table
MP raises, bad player (sasama) CC in the CO, you defend 85s in BB
flop comes 78A rainbow and you lead out

what is your reasoning for betting instead of checking here?
is it something like:
put pressure on the pfr to fold a live 6 out hand, take control so that you don't risk giving a free turn card, get useful info about villains' hands


0:31:30 bottom table
SB opens, you 3bet QTo in th BB, SB calls
flop K95r, check bet call
turn A putting a fd on the board, check bet

you can't call a c/r here yes?
so you maybe fold out small pairs, don't give free cards to gutshot straight draws that would fold, and prevent villain from bluffing you out on the river (if you had checked behind). on the other hand villain will frequently have a pair of aces, or he might use the card to bluff/semibluff, and you would be folding a live draw to a raise
