If we planned to stack off, do we think bet/calling is better than C/rall in?

yep, cause giving a free card on this board would be pretty bad

Yeah for sure, however do you think 3bet pots will often get check down on the flop?

IME normally someone bets like 80-90% of the time. Thoughts?

However im wondering also if betting will induce bluff/weaker pushes than check-raising will at c/r is pretty strong play?

well if villain is good he'll take his free card w/ weak draws that he may also bluff-push if we c-bet. i think what you're saying is that if we bet he will shove a lot of mediocre draw type hands that he will fold if he bets and we c/r, and if so i agree w/ you and that's basically why we should bet/call.

basically yeah, so i'm weighing up between inducing a big shove 'semi bluff' vs inducing a bet by calling.


I guess we must bet/call to widen his range (Shoving vs calling range). However i still feel very unhappy about stacking off here due to what i asume isn't going to be a huge % of hands we're ahead of.

Also his bluff range will have fairly good equity i imagine [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Tough spot i guess!
