Default Re: Save the money or burn it?

[ QUOTE ]
The logic behind checking the turn is fine, but people who play a LAG style (i.e Grimmstar) that includes firing second barrels I think could lose some value by checking behind.

And if a LAG isn't gonna bet a strong hand like this, why should people believe him on other occasions?
Do you want to be the player that automatically shuts down whenever the third flushcard comes? (unless you have nutredrraw or the flush yourself, or obv. bluffing)

its not inconceivable for Grim, given his LAG image to hold the flush here himself. I think a lot of worse made hands are folding.

Grim obviously has to think about whether villain is capable of playing back with less than flush here if he bets turn.

if villain will try to checkraise bluff the turn representing the flush fairly often, then betting the turn is correct.

but I don't think Grim has this knowledge.
