Default Re: NL CASH line check

[ QUOTE ]
If his vbets to bluffs are in the right frequency then you don't gain a thing by calling .

The real question becomes : Does my opponent bluff more than the optimal amount or less ?

If he bluffs more , then you should call .
If he bluffs less , then you should fold .

I thought about this a lot, I honestly lean toward a check. But it's close. You have to call the river because tilty players will have a tremendous propensity to try to represent a 2 here. And 97/98 will call you down, T9 as well.

One argument for checking is that a tilty player would RR his 9s a lot to "take the pot down." In fact, if that thought flashed into m y mind, I would probably check behind. But, you can't be faulted for betting here given the action.

PS: One more idea - I much rather lead here if an 8 or a 7 comes on this board. He would have RRed to pair for sure, meaning that I increase my chance of getting a value call from K8/A8/K7/A8/108/Q8/blah blah. That paired 2 makes me more cautious.
