if you're gonna fold JJ on the 776 board to a raise, checking behind there on the flop is so much better... why did you bet?

if u check he will bluff into you or you'll get value easily but against someone hyper aggro bet/folding that board is awful imo

i agree that checking behind is viable, but i bet for value and to protect my hand becasue i can easily get CCed by draws and by worse one pair hands.

bet folding is no where near awful for a 3x pot bet, i mean seriously? it's risk reward vs this guy, i wrote in my blog response to gabe that i would have called two kings instantly, and two queens after debate. it's mostly having to deal with the % of time he has an overpair and the size of it, and the amount of equity taht his overcard + club draw hands have vs my range.

it is super unfortunate that my hand was at the bottom end of my made hand range for betting that flop, but i folded pretty quickly once he insta shoved. i might have tanked a lil but i think in my mind i folded almost the second he shoved. he was hyper aggro when checked to, but not hyper aggro to CR. my c-bets, in fact, had a tremendous success rate.

you think a guy like this is going to check/call with worse hands than JJ often enough to make a flop cbet good? plz

lol? yes? tons of gut shots and pairs like two fours that he might ormight not shove?

my hand is strong, but not strong enough to call off 2 or 3 buy ins necessarily. IF that hand is a call (like we could ever know exactly what he does often enough over infinite trials), then it is probably by a narrow margin.

also, pretty hard for you to think the flop is not a bet if you weren't playing him
