Re: checking and betting in the dark
[ QUOTE ]
I was thinking about my experiences at the Bellagio 10-20, and I ran into these scenarios where someone was betting dark or checking dark. I don't have a good framework for these hands.
1) You raise preflop. Only caller is in the blinds and checks dark. You've missed the flop completely.
2) Someone has raised preflop and now bets into you dark.
You've got a piece of the ragged flop, or a good draw.
If you've got good checking dark or betting dark stories, go ahead and tell them, that would be useful too.

1. As soon as they say, "check dark" say "bet dark", You have the best hand/position going in. At the wynn 5/10 a month ago everyone was checkdarking. This is almost 99 percent a Pocket pair. I was bet darking. TWICE people called my flop bet and checked the turn dark again, this is almost always a bad player w/ a weak TP or weak draw to which I bet pot dark again and they folded.
2. Raise? Raise Dark? This has never come up for me.
