First, it's not a very believable bluff. Second, we lose tons of value with our strong hands.

These two things cannot both be true.

If villain will call with weak holdings because it's "not a very believable bluff", then we're getting value in those situations with strong hands that we might not have got otherwise.

Default Re: NLCash: Leading OOP

Generally speaking you should lead:

a) With hand that is probably ahead against a passive (preferably loose) opponent

b) Against an opponent who probably didn't hit the flop and won't try to float

If you have a hand that is probably ahead a check/raise is usually better if you think they will cbet. If they are passive you are better off just leading into them rather than giving a free card.

If you think you may be behind or racing but you have fold equity leading is better than checking. There isn't any point in checking through and probably losing at showdown if you could bet 60% of the pot on the flop and win it 1/2 the time.

Edit: Fixed some wordy parts.
