Default Re: 400nl: line check

A small PP doesn't want to "pick up the pot" here because its a clear WA/WB situation. All worse hands fold and better hands call, and since villain usually has overs when behind his equity is only about 15% and that's not enough to try to protect with any reasonable bet. Instead, he can check through and hope to induce a bluff on the river for the same cost but with much higher equity.

cool, that's how I'd play a small pp IP in a limit game, I guess no limit aint all that different

<font color="red"> could other posters include if they agree with this point plz? it's a situation I find myself often in
</font>
but when we look at it from hero's perspective again, wouldn't you think that leading the turn would fold out most small pp's, whereas checking turn and betting river would give us at least 1 more street of value?

I had been playing kinda tight myself as well and I didn't think I would get called by a worse hand if I fired turn again, but most likely would get called for a single river bet
