checking and betting in the dark

[stealyourface]

I think a good time to bet in the dark is after the turn going into the river with a draw.

If you would bluff at the river if you missed anyway, you mine as well bet in the dark to confuse your opponent into paying you off when you hit.

i have encountered very few good players who do this.

That doesn't change the fact that I should get a better sense of what it means/how to deal with it.

I think people that dark bet often think they are effectively gaining position on the flop by making you first to act.

actually for a lot of stack sizes checking 100% into a pfr that will autobet is, as I mentioned before, a pretty good strategy.

Playing 2/5 NL at Wynn last weekend. Solid Asian guy raises 3x w/ AA in EP I RR 3x on his immediate left. He checks dark and I 1x on K98, He checks dark and I 1x on a 5. He checks dark again and I push for 1.2x. He calls and I show him Kings full. I had been fairly aggressive in the short time I was at the table. Bad result for him but not a bad way to play AA against an aggro opponent.
