Default Re: pretty standard spot, bellagio 2/4

[ QUOTE ]
Online 100/200, I would check often in this spot. They never ever take free card and will often peel the flop with 77-99/KQ type hands hoping to bluff you out later. So I would c/c, c/c. Then again if I have a monster I'm going to check/raise a fair amount of the time too so... Since I believe a 2/4 plays close to 100/200 online I would probably check that turn and let him try to bluff me out of the pot.

Yes, it is hard to figure what the "live" play is likely to be. Most aggressive players online, when they're the preflop aggressor in a heads up pot, will make continuation bets on the flop and turn. When they check the turn it is less likely to be for a free card and more likely an attempt to induce a bluff by the opponent on the river when they have a hand with marginal show down value. Even though my online experience is at much smaller stakes than yours, I was a prop on sites with little traffic and I spent most of the day playing 4 and 5 handed games against other props. I think they played much like most higher stakes games.

I think this turn is a very tough choice. If the turn is a K or Q, I check for sure.
